Trevor Manuel threatens legal action against EFF

Former finance minister Trevor Manuel has threatened to take legal action if the EFF does not retract its “racist and libelous” statement regarding newly appointed SA Revenue Service commissioner Edward Kieswetter.

Manuel headed the interview panel for the post of Sars commissioner, which made a recommendation to President Cyril Ramaphosa, who made the final decision. The Sars Act states that the president appoints the commissioner for a five-year term. It does not prescribe a process. Manuel on Thursday said he would not be “abused by schoolyard bullies”. “Whilst they [EFF] are free to hold their warped political views about a Sars commissioner for whatever reason, they have no right to libelous or racist views,” he said.
