That was the context in which the first meeting with Sars took place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plan (to restructure Sars) involved the introduction of a new operating model for Sars based on the recommendations of a review into its functioning, processes and practices conducted by consultants from Gartner, Bain &amp; Company and KPMG,\u201dnewspaper reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The revamp of the organisation that included overhauling its operating model, information technology system and personnel structure was scheduled to be completed in May this year,&#8221; the newspaper explained.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after President Jacob Zuma reappointed Gordhan after his disastrous firing of Nhlanhla Nene, the former Sars commissioner paid a \u201ccourtesy visit\u201d to his old hunting ground in Pretoria, where the above directive was given.<\/p>\n<p>Gordhan served as commissioner of Sars for 10 years between 1999 and 2009, when he was promoted to finance minister. Zuma shifted him to the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in 2014, promoting Nene to head up Treasury.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Sars attempted to pull Gordhan into the alleged rogue spy unit investigation at Sars.<\/p>\n<p>During his press conference on December 14, a day after his reappointment, Gordhan slammed auditing firm KPMG over a leaked report that appears to confirm allegations regarding the unit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s allegations that have no foundation. They are based on a leaked document that even I haven&#8217;t seen,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How would you like to be accused of something on the basis of a document that has not been put to you or&#8230; questions that have not been put to you, on the basis of no opportunity having been put to you to say what the facts of the matter are? One thing I would like to request from you is to stop reporting on rumours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The unit was accused of running a brothel and spying on Zuma, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where is this mysterious report? KPMG has a cheek to say he [Gordhan] doesn\u2019t know anything but he should know. I thought forensic people are supposed to come up with facts. What does that say about the reputation of KPMG?&#8221; Gordhan asked.<\/p>\n<p>newspaper reported on Thursday that Gordhan and Moyane\u2019s relationship got off to a rocky start after the commissioner\u2019s \u201cpurging of top Sars executives allegedly implicated\u201d in the unit.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cape Town \u2013 Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan in December instructed the SA Revenue Service (Sars) to halt its extensive restructuring plans, so he could assess the situation before allowing the process to continue.
