Tom Moyane says human dignity, ubuntu at stake as he heads to ConCourt

Former Sars boss Tom Moyane is not giving up the marathon battle to get his job back.

On Thursday, December 20 2018, Moyane filed court papers to return to the Constitutional Court after he was denied, in November 2018, direct access to the court to raise his unhappiness with processes against him.

The application for leave to appeal was against a recent high court judgment – that dismissed his attempts unceremoniously – in which he sought to have his dismissal overturned and stop President Cyril Ramaphosa from appointing a permanent replacement. He also sought to prevent retired judge Robert Nugent from releasing a final report on the state of the tax agency.

The judgment by judge Hans Fabricius opened the way for Ramaphosa to appoint a new commissioner, which was said to be imminent. 

Moyane has now asked the court to directly hear the appeal application, instead of appealing first to a full bench in the high court and, after that, petitioning the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
