SARS Seeks To End Speculation On Gordhan's Future
The South African Revenue Service on Monday sought to dampen speculation with
regard to SARS Commissioner, Pravin Gordhan's career plans when his time with
the tax authority comes to an end next November. In a statement, SARS explained that: "Various media reports have claimed that the Commissioner of the South
African Revenue Service (SARS), Mr. Pravin Gordhan, will be appointed as the
next national Commissioner of the South African Police Service." "In other instances it was reported that Commissioner Gordhan may be appointed
to other government departments or to lead an international organization." "These reports were largely based on information from unidentified “sources”
to the extent that it is not possible to challenge such speculation." The statement concluded: "When SARS was asked to comment on these claims the response has been
consistent and unambiguous: SARS trusts this statement will put any further speculation to rest." .
