The South African Revenue Services has rushed to the defence of South Africa's tax boss, Tom Moyane. In a statement released this afternoon it says it has noted continued and sustained media attacks on the integrity of SARS and it's commissioner, Moyane. It says the insinuation that Moyane is breaking the organisation is malicious and meant to denigrate and attack SARS. SARS points out that it has managed to out-perfom the economy in recent years. It says the collection of over R1 trillion by SARS in the last financial year help to reduce South Africa's deficit, and contributed to South Africa avoiding a rating agency downgrade.  Recently the Financial Mail ran a cover story about Moyane as the man breaking SARS. The SARS release says that the Sunday Times, Business Day and Financial mail have been unrelenting in their negative coverage.
