Here is a look at the journey to appoint a new Sars boss.
Just over a year after Tom Moyane was suspended from his role as the commissioner of the South African Revenue Service , Edward Kieswetter has been appointed as the new boss.
Kieswetter will take over from the current acting Sars commissioner Mark Kingon, who was also shortlisted for the position. From Moyane's suspension to Kingon filling his shoes to Keiswetter's appointment. Moyane was suspended on March 19 2018 with immediate effect. After a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, he declined an offer to resign, prompting Ramaphosa to suspend him.
"Developments at the Sars under your leadership have resulted in a deterioration in public confidence in the institution and in public finances being compromised. For the sake of the country and the economy, this situation cannot be allowed to continue, or to worsen," Ramaphosa said in a letter to Moyane, made public by the presidency.
