Fin24 reports that axed SA Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner Tom Moyane is filing an urgent application with the North Gauteng High Court for relief following his dismissal by President Cyril Ramaphosa.  

The notice of motion was filed on Monday, 13 November 2018.  Moyane wants the court to temporarily set aside Ramaphosa's decision and to interdict him from implementing any other recommendations from the Nugent Commission of Inquiry’s interim report.  He also wants Ramaphosa to be barred from advertising or filling his former post.  Moyane further wants the disciplinary inquiry instituted by Ramaphosa and chaired by Advocate Azhar Bham to remain in place, and is seeking costs, including punitive and personal costs.  The respondents - including Ramaphosa, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, retired judge Robert Nugent, Bham, Professor Michael Katz, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, Vuyo Kahla and Advocate Mabongi Masilo - had until noon on Monday to file their answering affidavit.
