THE Presidency on Tuesday announced that it had appointed Thomas Moyane as the commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) effective September 27.
Mr Moyane, a development economist, recently served as the advisor on turnaround and security strategies at the State Information Technology Agency.
He will replace Oupa Magashula, who resigned on July 12 2013 after an investigation led by retired Judge Jak Yacoob found that he had "placed the reputation and credibility of SARS at risk" because of his relationship with convicted drug dealer Pantanathan "Timmy" Marimuthu.
On his appointment, Mr Moyane said: "I thank the president and the Minister of Finance, Mr Nhlanhla Nene, for the confidence they have bestowed upon me. I look forward to working with the successful team at SARS to assist with taking forward all priority development programmes and policies".
The president wished Mr Moyane well in his new role.
