Pravin Gordhan wants the court to suspend the public protector's remedial orders in her Sars report
10 July 2019 - 20:19Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan lodged an urgent application on Wednesday to interdict the enforcement of the remedial action in public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report on the SA Revenue Service’s so-called rogue unit.
Last week, Mkhwebane recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa take disciplinary action against Gordhan, and directed the national police commissioner to investigate his conduct and that of other officials involved in the unit. In his affidavit to the court, Gordhan said the establishing of investigation units to strengthen tax compliance and enforcement was in accordance with international best practice.
The minister said there was a fightback being waged by his political opponents, who sought to taint him and other leaders. He accused the EFF of being prominent players in the campaign. He also wants the court to find that in her personal capacity, Mkhwebane was dishonest or alternatively made her findings against him recklessly. Gordhan has asked the court to make a personal cost order against Mkhwebane.
