Edward Kieswetter’s warning to all South African taxpayers

South Africa's Revenue Service has seen a significant boost in public trust, with a 27-point increase from 48% to 75% during Edward Kieswetter's tenure. Kieswetter's leadership was marked by a commitment to merit-based appointments, prioritizing good character, objective job competence, and incorruptibility, which helped restore an internal understanding of the service's role in collecting revenue. This renewed focus has paid off, with SARS's performance showing notable improvements.
