Sars ex-boss, Tom Moyane, expected in court on Friday
Honeydew Police spokesperson Captain Balan Muthan confirmed that a case of common assault had been opened against Moyane.
Suspended South African Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner, Tom Moyane, is expected to appear in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court this Friday, 1 June, facing a charge of assault.
According to reports, Moyane, the former national commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services and chief executive of the Government Printing Works, is accused of assaulting a teenage girl who was apparently in a relationship with his son at a Weltevreden Park home.
According to The Citizen, the teenager, who has a six-month-old baby with Moyane’s son, had faced emotional abuse at the hands of Moyane prior to the assault.

If Moyane fails to appear in court, a Johannesburg-based attorney, Vukani Mthembu, said a warrant for his arrest might be issued.
“A warrant of arrest will be issued if he fails to take himself to court within 14 days after the court date,” he said.
