SARS moves to suspend head of legal Refiloe Mokoena
6 September 2018
The South African Revenue Service has served its head of legal Refiloe Mokoena with a notice of intention to suspend her from her position, News24 has learnt.
News24 understands this is in relation with Mokoena's involvement in unlawful R420m worth of VAT refunds claimed by Gupta companies which SARS paid to third parties in contravention of the VAT Act.
Mokoena previously served on the board of state-owned arms manufacturer Denel while it was attempting to establish a joint-venture with Gupta owned VR Laser.
She was hired during now suspended commissioner Tom Moyane's tenure.
