Former finance minister Pravin Gordhan should face a probe into whether he knew a rogue unit at the South African Revenue Service was spying on taxpayers‚ the Sunday Times reported.
This recommendation is contained in an explosive KPMG report submitted to SARS commissioner Tom Moyane four weeks ago. It confirms Sunday Times reports that the unit was “engaged in unlawful interception of communications“.
The report‚ seen by Sunday Times reporters‚ reveals that SARS blew more than R106-million in taxpayers’ money running “a covert and rogue intelligence unit” that spied on South Africans‚ and then repeatedly lied about its existence to the public.
The KPMG report says “SARS needs to engage the Office of the Public Protector and apologise for misleading her office“.
