Mpofu now detailing how Moyane says President Ramaphosa suspended him after "shouting angrily at him" over VAT payments to Gupta linked company,#JonasMakwakwa
Mpofu says PG addressed TM in "degrading and condescending" manner, says PG showed "hatred" to TM.
Professor Michael Katz, who is a commissioner in the Nugent Inquiry, is acting for Ramaphosa in this case.
This creates an impression of conflict, bias. #TomMoyane
He wants "all the evidence of the past three days be expunged from the record, as it was obtained under a huge cloud of unlawfulness". #SARS
Audible gasps from audience.
He says: "I have never been called a kangaroo court".
He denies that Katz is a commissioner, "I am the Commission".
These were the witnesses that were called.
Mpofu has described the witnesses led so far as "curious". #TomMoyane
He says he will give #TomMoyane a chance to respond to the evidence against him, but he will not compel him to do so.
"You can give it to the press". #SARSInquiry
"I don't know why there are two separate tribunals, and I'm not interested.
"I have accepted the proclamation that I must do this work (#SARSInquiry) and do it by November".
I do not have the power to remove him. #TomMoyane
He says @AdvDali_Mpofu has raised a "fair" concern about Prof Katz being part of the Commission, given his relationship with the President.
Mpofu thanks him for this acknowledgement.
But we don't have the land.
#TomMoyane
"This is not about conspiracies, this is about facts.
"Mr Moyane wasn't invited here. It's a fact.
"It's a fact that Prof Katz is President Ramaphosa's personal lawyer".
But that's not the issue: the appearance that he is conflicted, given his connection to the President, is the issue.
Nugent says he accepts this. #SARSInquiry
He says it was to establish the system that was in place prior to #TomMoyane arriving at SARS.
Mpofu: but this commission is about the present: 2014-2018.
