Moyane, Gordan feud heads to the ConCourt

In more than 700 pages of court documents, Moyane alleges that his Constitutional rights are being infringed.

Moyane has been the subject of two inquiries, running concurrently - investigating his conduct during his tenure as head of the Revenue Service.

Retired Judge Robert Nugent is probing tax governance and administration under Moyane's administration while Advocate Azar Bham is looking at possible misconduct by means of a disciplinary inquiry.

The suspended commissioner has previously conveyed his dismay about the two inquiries, with his legal team arguing this is not permitted by law.

All his objections have been dismissed.

It was concluded that the terms of reference for the inquiries are different and therefore can run concurrent - a response Moyane denied.

Moyane's laywer, Eric Mabuza alluded that the inquires are not about the embattled boss' fitness to hold office, but also centres around a personal vendetta against him led by President Cyril Ramaphosa.  

"It was inappropriate and irrational, in our view, for the President to use the testimony of Mr. Gordan to support the charges when he knows very well that Mr. Gordan has a very unhealthy relationship with Mr. Moyane."

He also wants Minister Pravin Gordhan's affidavit scrapped from the record and the right to rebut oral evidence given in the disciplinary inquiry.

"It is quite surprising that the President used Mr. Gordan to testify - someone who is legendary, the hostility between Mr. Gordan and Mr. Moyane is quite legendary."
