Timeslive reports that Tom Moyane’s legal representative Dali Mpofu has hit out hard at Cyril Ramaphosa‚ saying that the president was not being fair to the suspended SA Revenue Service (SARS) boss.
Mpofu has also called for Moyane to be given a chance to have oral evidence presented during his disciplinary hearings — and has questioned why there were two inquiries into Moyane’s case at the same time. President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed retired Judge Robert Nugent to head a commission of inquiry into governance at SARS, and also appointed Azhar Bham to preside over Moyane’s disciplinary hearing, which started in Johannesburg on Saturday. Mpofu is representing Moyane at his disciplinary hearing. He said that Moyane was not a first public office bearer to be suspended‚ but questioned why his case was being treated differently and why he was being treated unfairly. "The president [Ramaphosa] can’t do as he likes; there’s a rule of law and that must be respected. We are here today because the president has lost confidence in Moyane. Give him a chance to have an oral reply‚" said Mpofu.
