The independent selection panel which made recommendations to the president on the appointment of the new Sars commissioner was chaired by former finance minister Trevor Manuel and composed of Angela Bester, Justice Dennis Davis, Sindi Mabaso-Koyana, Ismail Momoniat, Thandi Orley and Fezekile Tshiqi.
Kingon, Nathaniel Mabetwa, Sunita Manik, Gene Ravele and Nazrien Kader were the five unsuccessful candidates who were shortlisted and interviewed for the position.“We have every confidence that Mr Kieswetter has the experience, integrity and skills required to turn SARS around by restoring revenue collection, redirecting operations toward innovation, developing future leaders for the organisation, and restoring SARS’ credibility and integrity.
