Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) interim board has suspended Kugandrie Govender due to allegations of misconduct both while she was in the position of chief commercial officer of the organisation and in her current position as acting chief executive.

She will be replaced by chief financial officer Pholetsi Moseki with immediate effect, the organisation said in a statement sent to the media on Tuesday afternoon.

Govender, who will now face a hearing on 28 January 2021, will have to answer for the following charges brought against her according to the statement:

  • The role she played in the revocation of media accreditation of certain journalists in December 2019;
  • Various breaches of the provisions of the Companies Act as a prescribed officer of CSA; and
  • The role which she played in the dismissal of Mr Clive Eksteen, which CSA has now acknowledged (in terms of a settlement agreement with Mr Eksteen) was an unfair dismissal.

Govender became CSA’s acting CEO following the resignation of Jacques Faull in August.

Read the full statement below:

The CSA Interim Board has delivered a notice of suspension and a disciplinary hearing to CSA’s acting-Chief Executive Officer, Ms Kugandrie Govender, earlier today.

This notice sets out allegations of misconduct by Ms Govender while in the position as Chief Commercial Officer of CSA and while Acting CEO. The hearing is to take place on 28 January 2021, when Ms Govender will be allowed to answer the charges which have been brought against her.

The charges against Ms Govender relate to, inter alia,

  • The role she played in the revocation of media accreditation of certain journalists in December 2019;
  • Various breaches of the provisions of the Companies Act as a prescribed officer of CSA; and
  • The role which she played in the dismissal of Mr Clive Eksteen, which CSA has now acknowledged (in terms of a settlement agreement with Mr Eksteen) was an unfair dismissal.

Ms Govender has been suspended and will receive full pay until the matter is decided.

In ensuring that CSA remains fully functional during this time, the Interim Board has arranged for the appointment of a capable person from an auditing firm to stand in the breach until early January 2021. The executive management team is being led by CSA Chief Financial Officer, Mr Pholetsi Moseki, with immediate effect. 

He has agreed to take on this short-term role and we look forward to working with him. The Chair of the IB also addressed CSA staff this afternoon to allay any concerns they may have and to ensure them all of the IB’s support.

News24.com | Presidency slams reports that Ramaphosa wants Mkhwebane arrested as ‘complete fabrication’

You Need Posted on by

President Cyril Ramaphosa.

President Cyril Ramaphosa.

  • The Presidency says a report that President Cyril Ramaphosa is plotting to have Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane arrested is a “complete fabrication”.
  • It was reported that “someone from Ramaphosa’s office made a WhatsApp call” to pressure the police into arresting Mkhwebane.
  • Mkhwebane fears this is part of a plot to remove her.

The Presidency has dismissed a report that President Cyril Ramaphosa is “plotting” to have Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane arrested as a “complete fabrication”.

On Monday, The Star reported that an unnamed source said, “… someone from Ramaphosa’s office made a WhatsApp call”, to pressure the police into arresting Mkhwebane on charges of perjury.

The publication reported that Ramaphosa then intends to suspend Mkhwebane.

IN DEPTH | 9 reasons why the court found Mkhwebane to be biased and had eroded public trust in the Public Protector’s office

The report charged that Ramaphosa plans to suspend Mkhwebane before she releases her report into Defence and Military Veterans’ Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s flight to Harare in September, on which she ferried ANC officials. Ramaphosa approved Mapisa-Nqakula’s visit abroad, albeit in contravention of the Ministerial Handbook.

“The report makes claims about President Cyril Ramaphosa and Presidency staff that are simply false and for which the newspaper provides no evidence,” reads a statement from Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Tyrone Seale.

READ | Court blasts discredited source documents Mkhwebane relied on for SARS rogue unit findings

“President Ramaphosa has no knowledge of, nor any involvement in, the matters to which the article refers.”

He said the report made very serious claims about Ramaphosa’s conduct, “… without any factual basis”.

He said Ramaphosa, “… is firmly committed to the rule of law and due process. He has never and will never interfere in any criminal investigation or other legal process”.

Fears 

On Sunday, City Press reported that Mkhwebane fears a perjury charge, and that this would be used by Ramaphosa to suspend her. She says the charges are part of a campaign to remove her from office.

Perjury charges filed last year in August by civil society group Accountability Now, based on the findings of the Constitutional Court, following the case between the SA Reserve Bank and the Public Protector’s office after the Constitutional Court found that she had, “… put forward a number of falsehoods”.

Mkhwebane said that even if she was suspended, the team in her office would continue all the high-profile investigations they were already conducting, City Press reported.

The only mechanism for Ramaphosa is in terms of Section 194 of the Constitution, when the National Assembly institutes removal proceedings against the head of a Chapter 9 institution.

Such a process is currently underway, but Ramaphosa has indicated that he will not suspend Mkhwebane until her court proceedings against the removal proceedings is completed.

Mkhwebane was unsuccessful in the first part of the application – asking for an interdict to halt the proceedings – but the second part – in which she asks the courts to declare the National Assembly’s rules for the removal of a Chapter 9 head unconstitutional and invalid – will be heard in February next year.

14 December 2020 – Appointment of SARS Commissioner as Vice-Chairman of Global Forum

You Need Posted on by

APPOINTMENT OF SARS COMMISSIONER AS VICE-CHAIRMAN OF GLOBAL FORUM ON TRANSPARENCY & EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION FOR TAX PURPOSES’ AFRICAN INITIATIVE

Pretoria, Monday 14 December 2020 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) Commissioner, Mr Edward Kieswetter, has been appointed as Vice-Chair of the Africa Initiative by the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes. 

The announcement was made on Friday 11 December by the OECD Global Forum Chair Ms Maria Jose Garde. She also announced Commissioner-General of the Kenya Revenue Administration, Mr Githii Mburu, as the Africa Initiative Chair.

The Africa Initiative is a programme of work focusing on tax transparency and exchange of information (EOI) in Africa. It was launched during the plenary meeting of the Global Forum on 28 October 2014 in Berlin by African members of the Global Forum along with other partners.

Initially launched for a three-year period (2015-2017), the Initiative was renewed in 2017 to cover the years 2018 to 2020, and then renewed again for three years from 2021 to 2023. 

Since its launch in 2014, the Africa Initiative has accentuated two strategic pillars to strengthen the benefits of tax transparency and EOI in Africa.

The first pillar aims to raise political awareness about the benefits of tax transparency and EOI in order to gain the necessary political buy-in and commitment from African decision-makers. This has taken place through high-level events in Africa as well as meetings with African Cabinet Ministers and partners during which tax transparency is promoted. 

The second pillar of the Africa Initiative aims to create awareness and build the capacity of tax administrations in tax transparency and EOI. Working with its partners, the Global Forum Secretariat assists African countries to strengthen their legal framework to ensure availability and access to information relevant for tax purposes. It also helps to setup equipped and skilled EOI units, as well as to provide training to officials, including tax auditors to effectively use EOI instruments in tackling tax evasion and illicit financial flows and eventually increase domestic revenue collection.

For 2021 and beyond, the Africa Initiative will:

•         Continue to build political awareness throughout Africa;

•         Help new members implement the Core Stage of tax transparency and EOI;

•         Consolidate the progress achieved by members since 2014; 

•         Increase its efforts on transparency of beneficial ownership information and the automatic exchange of information (AEOI);

•         Explore with interested members enhanced building blocks, such as the cross-border recovery of tax claims.

The Africa Initiative is open to all African countries and currently has 32 African member jurisdictions. Countries participating in the Initiative have committed to meeting specific and measurable targets in implementing and using the international tax transparency standards.

Commissioner Kieswetter expressed his gratitude to the Committee for this important assignment. He undertook to make his humble contribution to ensure the success of this initiative. The SARS Commissioner stressed the importance of tax transparency and cross-border exchange of tax information to ensure greater tax compliance. This latest appointment follows the earlier African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) election of Mr Kieswetter as Vice-Chairman.
