PRETORIA - The Constitutional Court has dismissed former South African Revenue Service Commissioner Tom Moyane’s application to review and set aside the decision to establish the Nugent Commission of Inquiry.

President Cyril Ramaphosa accepted the recommendations in the commission’s interim report and fired Moyane

I'm actually glad he is appealing, as there is no merit to his case and it must be burning through the resources that this group of crooks have. Court cases are expensive. The sooner they run out of money the better.

These state capturers have deep pockets. Imagine how much willing participants were paid when Jonas was offered R600m for access to the treasury, no doubt that was their main prize but the likes of Tom must have been paid a couple million. Duduzane is supposed to have been made a billionaire but he was the Zuma clan bag man so you'd expect he'd get the most for the Zuma overseas stash.

The high court in Pretoria on Tuesday dismissed Tom Moyane’s application to have his axing as SA Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner overturned. The court also dismissed Moyane’s bid to block President Cyril Ramaphosa from appointing his successor, and to prevent retired judge Robert Nugent from submitting the final report of the Sars Commission of Inquiry.

Moyane was dealt a massive blow in his nine-month battle with Ramaphosa over his controversial four-year tenure as Sars commissioner, which culminated in a R100bn hole in revenue collection. Handing down his "lengthy judgment", judge Hans Fabricius said Moyane did not suffer irreparable harm and his request for an interdict was not urgent. The national interest in the case also far outweighed the "narrow financial interests" of Moyane.

He further said the Nugent commission was legally established; its interim report which recommended Moyane’s axing was legally issued to Ramaphosa; and the president was acting rationally when he fired Moyane. Importantly, Fabricius said Moyane’s employment contract was not a legal impediment to Ramaphosa firing the embattled tax boss.

He added that Moyane was given an opportunity to respond to the president’s move to axe him, but he "spurned" these overtures "with disdain".

One of these days Zuma is going to reveal the dirt and that Ramaphosa will be very sorry, he must keep on provoking him and he'll see.

Read up on "The Corbomite Manoeuver"...
TL;DR: it's a bluff.

That works both ways, and I suspect there's way more dirt on Zuma.

Besides, if he had anything earth-shattering, why hasn't it come out yet?

First thing that came up on google is Star Trek, I just could not read further.

A-hyup. Keep your cards too close to your chest for too long, and you'll lose...

I'm so sorry.

It is newspeak for "it is a bluff"

thechamp was probably saying that tongue in cheek but as for there being more dirt on Zuma I doubt it's anymore earth shattering than what's already been revealed except maybe the sleazy stuff journalists are keeping out of the media as a show of respect. Zuma probably does have dirt thanks to Frasier which is probably why Frasier wasn't fired outright as they'd rather have him in the tent pissing out than out pissing in. That one must have collected a Varys worthy treasure trove of dirt on everyone to protect his own ass.

Good news. Only downside is that now Dali Mpofu will have more time to devote to other Zupta matters. This was keeping him nicely occupied.

Has Jesus returned? is Zuma's prophecy being fulfilled.....re the ANC ruling?

Black Jesus!

Talk about a man having a finger in too many pies, He is also representing Mayor Mashaba against Parks Tau, cementing the friendship between the DA and the Fighters.

I just heard on the radio that Moyane intends appealing, which sounds bizarre.

The SABC video of the court judgement is scathing:

Something to this effect: Moyane is a vexatious litigant, who has insulted the President, and a punitive costs order is justified!
