The news that Pravin Gordhan has been issued with a formal summons has been met with shock & concern.
The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield speaks to Political Economy Analyst at Political Futures Consultancy, Daniel Silk, about claims over the weekend that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan faces imminent arrest.”
Acting Presidency spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga says law enforcement agencies have denied the story and so they have no reason not to believe the rumours are true.
NPA head Shaun Abrahams says it’s 'mischievous' to suggest the minister's arrest is imminent.
The NPA says it’s taken no decision to prosecute Pravin Gordhan or anyone linked to the Sars rogue unit saga.
The Hawks have reportedly handed over a docket to the NPA to prosecute the finance minister.
Tom Moyane says he can't say whether he thinks the Hawks should be investigating Pravin Gordhan.
On Friday, he announced Sars had met its target of gathering more than R1 trillion in revenue.
Sars Luther Lebelo says they're not responsible for the leaking of confidential information.
This is the first comment by Sars on the claims against it and its commissioner, Tom Moyane.
Sars says it can say only that it notes reports that Tom Moyane is continuing with a restructuring plan.
Editor of Beeld, Adriaan Basson, says what makes the Sars scandal so complex is all of the agendas at play.
The root of the apparent unit lies in a planned joint project signed off by Pravin Gordhan & Trevor Manuel.
