SARS asks court to end a contract with firm headed by Tom Moyane’s nephew
THE South African Revenue Service (SARS) has approached the court in a bid to immediately terminate its contract with Lekgotla Trifecta Collections (LTC), which won a contract to collect billions in taxpayer debt. This followed LTC’s failure to declare a potential conflict of interest between its director Nhlamulo Ndhlela and SARS commissioner Tom Moyane, the revenue service said. Ndhlela is Moyane’s nephew. The Mail and Guardian reported in July that Ndhlela was granted the debt collection contract whose fee was estimated at about 10%, or up to R220m. At the time, SARS said Moyane was not aware that his nephew was a shareholder in LTC.
