SARS boss served with disciplinary charges

The Presidency has confirmed the charges are related to alleged misconduct in violation of his duties and responsibilities in terms of the SARS Act, the Finance Management Act and the SARS Code of Conduct. 

Moyane was suspended in March due to concerns over his leadership at SARS and his handling of the investigation into top official Jonas Makwakwa. 

Retired Constitutional Court Judge Kate O'Regan will preside over the inquiry.
