The former SARS executive also called on SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter to ‘act in a manner that will ultimately put the entire nightmare to bed once and for all’.

Former SARS executive Johann van Loggerenberg has called on South Africa’s law enforcement agencies to act against those known to have conspired to undermine the SA Revenue Service , ruin the careers of top officials and scupper investigations and audits.

In a public statement, Van Loggerenberg called on the SAPS, SARS, the Hawks, the State Security Agency , the IGI and the National Prosecuting Authority “to immediately act” against current and former employees and their co-conspirators. These included, said Van Loggerenberg, journalists, private security companies and the tobacco industry.

Van Loggerenberg had supplied screeds of evidence to Radebe in 2014 when the then-minister of state security, David Mahlobo, had, after media reports, ordered the probe into the involvement of State Security agents in the attack on SARS. After Mkhwebane had announced she was in possession of the report, Van Loggerenberg was able to access it for the first time. It was then that he learned the evidence he had provided to Radebe had been largely ignored and had “gone missing” in some instances.

Van Loggerenberg, in his statement, also called on SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter to “act in a manner that will ultimately put the entire nightmare to bed once and for all, since the matter will continuously be abused and brought up whenever it suits some or other nefarious agenda or motive to the detriment of the institution, its staff and the fiscus”.
