The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is revisiting allegations surrounding a 2014 dispute involving the South African Revenue Service (SARS) and a supposed “rogue unit.” Testimony focused on Feroz Khan, described as a central figure in dealings between the South African Police Service (SAPS) and Adriano Mazzotti, a prominent cigarette manufacturer. The inquiry explored a 2020 tax settlement of R25-million between SARS and Mazzotti, with admissions of criminal activity being a key aspect. Evidence suggests potential interference in SAPS tender processes linked to Mazzotti and his associates. Friday’s proceedings linked the current investigation to the previously controversial SARS “rogue unit” saga, indicating a possible pattern of illicit activity. The commission aims to uncover the full extent of alleged corruption and undue influence within SAPS procurement. These revelations could implicate high-ranking officials and reshape understandings of past conflicts within SARS.
