The matter is likely to be postponed after the NPA gave the three former employees until the end of April to make representations on the matter.
SARS commissioner Tom Moyane‚ who laid the initial complaint that led to the charges against the three‚ was suspended by President Cyril Ramaphosa in March. Moyane was removed partly due to his handling of the disciplinary case against his second-in-charge Jonas Makwakwa‚ who resigned in March.
There is speculation that Pillay is among those who are set to return to SARS‚ possibly as a deputy commissioner. This is seen as a reason the charges against him have been resuscitated‚ according to sources close to the matter.
