SARS pays reparations
Loading player...
The SA Revenue Service (SARS) has paid reparations and apologised to all former employees that were affected by the events that unfolded "during the capture of SARS between 2014 and 2018", namely the witch hunt around the now-discredited "rogue unit".
The SARS statement follows a Constitutional Court ruling this week that unanimously dismissed suspended Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane's attempts to appeal the invalidation of her probe into the unit, ending years of litigation.
The tax authority said on Thursday night that SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter tendered "a heartfelt public apology to its former employees for the organisation’s actions and omissions that had such a devastating and profound impact on their lives".
