Former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel has thrown down the gauntlet to the EFF, calling for the retraction of a"racist" and"libellous" statement it made in relation to the appointment of new SARS boss Edward Kieswetter. Failing to do so would result in legal action, he said.On Wednesday, the Economic Freedom Fighters issued a statement containing various allegations against both Kieswetter and Manuel - among them that the two were related and had a close business relationship.
The Finance Ministry later on Wednesday announced that Kieswetter had been appointed as the new SARS commissioner, effective on May 1.But in a terse statement on Thursday, where Manuel referred to the EFF as"bullies" and specifically referenced EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, he said their statement was"false","racist" and"libellous".
He said it was"racist" of the EFF to assume that because both he and Kieswetter were classified as coloured under apartheid that they must be related.
