Minister Pravin Gordhan has requested an extension to the deadline that the
Hawks set for him, to answer questions on his role in setting up a suspected
spy unit at the South African Revenue Service.
That's
according to Police Minister Nathi Nhleko who held a media briefing on
Wednesday in Johannesburg.
Wednesday
was the deadline for Gordhan to respond to the 27 questions from the Hawks,
relating to their investigation into the so- called rogue spy unit which
allegedly was set- up at SARS in mid 2000s, while Gordhan was SARS
Commissioner.
Gordhan
has meanwhile written a letter to the Hawks- through his lawyers- demanding
answers on whether they are investigating him for any offence and on what
grounds.
