The presidency announced an agreement had been reached between Ramaphosa and Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter \u201cto enable an orderly leadership transition in the organisation\u201d.Kieswetter was appointed in March 2019 for a five-year term which started in May 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Kieswetter will continue leading the execution of the strategic direction of the revenue service while ensuring a smooth leadership transition,\u201d the presidency said.<\/p>\n

The commissioner has been credited with rescuing the institution after it was hollowed out during the state capture years under Tom Moyane.<\/p>\n

Consulting firm Bain & Company ended up repaying revenue for its botched restructuring of the tax agency, with interest amounting to R217m, according to a final report of the Sars Commission of Inquiry chaired by retired judge Robert Nugent.<\/p>\n

It is understood Kieswetter had quietly expressed his desire to leave Sars, but Ramaphosa moved to keep him in the role a bit longer.<\/p>\n
