Parting of ways "amicable" - SARS


The SA Revenue Service says there's been an amicable parting of ways between the organisation and its Deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay and Strategic Planning Risk Group Executive Peter Richer.

The resignation of the pair, who are accuse of unlawfully establishing a rogue spy unit within SARS, was announced on Thursday.

Pillay was investigated for allegedly having "facilitated the approval that the revenue service pay R1.2m into his own pension fund account under the pretext that he would take early retirement but instead remained in Sars employ.

SA Revenue Services spokesperson, Luther Lebelo, says "SARS acknowledges and appreciatest the contribution" that they've made.

He says all charges and related investigations against them have been withdrawn.
