Pretoria - Retired Constitutional Court judge Zak Yacoob has been appointed to probe allegations of impropriety involving Sars commissioner Oupa Magashula. Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane will assist Yacoob. The City Press reported last month that it had a recording of Magashula allegedly offering a job to an associate of convicted drug dealer, Panganathan Marimuthu. Sars spokesperson, Adrian Lackay confirmed the authenticity of the tape, but said the woman was never given a job. The report is expected to be submitted within two months.
