SSA REPORT FALLOUT: ANC at War: State Security vs the Public Protector vs Pillay, Gordhan and Oupa Magashula By Marianne Thamm MarianneThamm
While a criminal complaint lodged by the SSA against Mkhwebane has been bumped up to the Hawks for investigation, the Public Protector struck on Monday, subpoenaing former SARS Commissioner Oupa Magashula to reply to questions relating to an anonymous complaint lodged with the PP against Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan.
The subpoena states that the inquiry by the PP relates to “The complaint of Anonymous against The Hon. Mr Pravin Gordhan MP .”Yes I received the subpoena but I cannot comment on it at this point.
Gordhan testified that he had taken extensive measures to ensure that the payout would be legal but had still been charged, alongside Pillay. Pillay told the Nugent commission that he assumed that the documents had been added to his personnel file which had been kept in a safe in Tom Moyane’s office. The commission heard that shortly after Tom Moyane’s appointment in 2014, SARS had commissioned another legal opinion which had also cleared the Pillay payout.Gordhan was subpoenaed by the PP to reply to questions in relation to Pillay’s retirement and reinstatement.
