Johannesburg - The SA Revenue Service was adamant on Thursday that deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay and head of strategic planning Peter Richer were instrumental in the establishment of the so-called rogue unit.
"It is common cause that Mr Pillay and Richer were in different degrees instrumental in the institutionalisation, establishment as well as the running of this unit," Sars's executive for employment relations, Luther Lebelo, said.
"Hence it is prudent and reasonably expected that as the head of the unit he be held responsible for the unit’s activities."
