Sars, Hawks have not met over Makwakwa allegations - Moyane
14 September 2016
Cape Town – Sars commissioner Tom Moyane told Parliament on Wednesday that he had not met with Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza regarding the allegations against Sars second in command Jonas Makwakwa.
The Anti-Corruption Task Team and Sars were briefing Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts when the Sars commissioner told the committee that it was dangerous to rely on media for information on such issues.
This after the task team was asked about recent media reports that Makwakwa, chief officer for business and individual taxes and the "second in command" at Sars, had been singled out for cash payments into his bank account that appeared "suspicious and unusual".
The Sunday Times reported that investigations also focused on three cash deposits, totalling R450 200, to Makwakwa's girlfriend's Absa account just before Christmas 2015.
