Business Day reports that the chairman of the disciplinary inquiry against suspended SA Revenue Service (SARS) commissioner Tom Moyane‚ might rule in two weeks’ time on objections to the process by the tax boss.
On Saturday‚ Azhar Bham heard arguments from Moyane’s counsel‚ advocate Dali Mpofu‚ on three main objections to the process initiated by President Cyril Ramaphosa after Moyane’s suspension in February. The three main issues were the right to oral evidence or cross examination‚ the admissibility and content of the affidavit by former finance minister Pravin Gordhan in the disciplinary matter‚ and the two "parallel inquiries" in respect of which Moyane was at the centre. Advocate Heidi Barnes‚ for Ramaphosa‚ told the hearing that the process unfolding against Moyane was fair‚ just and one that did not entitle him to oral evidence. She added that in any case‚ the terms of reference did not exclude oral evidence‚ which was at the discretion of the presiding officer. On the parallel processes, Barnes said Bham did not have the authority to order one or both processes to be halted, as they had been instituted by the president.
