This is in the wake of the South African Revenue Service confirming that it has no record of the alleged 580 000 US dollars paid to President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2019.Sudanese businessman, Hazim Mustafa alleged that he paid the money for buffalo on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s farm in 2018. Steenhuisen filed a Promotion of Access to Information Act request with SARS asking for a copy of the declaration form in December last year.

So he is above the law according to his spokesperson?🤔🤔

Why ? If it was me i had to otherwise jail time 🙈🙈

Why did he receive the money from the first place, the only money you should be receiving is your earnings the rest is treason 🤷🏿

Paving the way for us all... About time we started doing things the way they have always been done behind closed doors.. This is not new... It's social media exposure... This is where they have been living in comfort for years.. All these governments.. Same MO

And what has Sars got to say about this? Please give the nation direction so we know should we declare or not. Court cases could be loading.

Who knows how many more billions he has not declared? The swamp is getting deeper. If you think this man is tackling corruption you're dreaming.

Wow, you making additional income and you don't have to report that income to Sars now we can all start doing that.

If Ramaposa don't have to report income, then why should we as normal citizens have to declare our income

Vincent go and fly a kite..for all we know that is our tax payers money.if I earn R50 more on my tiny salary, sars immediately investigate me ..what a joke..

Then we don't need to declare all our earnings to sars in that case.

WHY? CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA stop playing games and payback the money 580 000 Dollers is a lot of money, that money can save Eskom from sinking further.

what else he could have said, he is paid for saying what he does not know.

In essence private companies are also under no obligation to pay taxes...

lira12_joy I guess he was also under no obligation to pay tax from the proceeds of the sale hence he resolved to couch bank the money 😂😂😂

lira12_joy Is it so?

Amidst this chaos we still have people in Eastern Cape and Limpopo wearing ANC t-shirts written 're mo rata kaofela'. This goes to tell you how sick the society has become'

When he falls off favour all these cases that are swept under the carpet will follow him

🤣🤣🤣🤣😱😱 South African a land of possibilities, in the words of one former president 😂😂

Awesome, so when I get my dollar salary every month, I am under no obligation to report it to SARS.

Even

o_mosoang Useless spokesperson xa!

I wonder if Magwenya knows the itr12 or itr14? Why is it necessary to answer 'yes or no' questions when completing these declarations? In the itr14 they even ask if you are registered for customs 👀 so that they can track any transaction that has to do with exporting.

This guy's job is to defend lies after lies even when deep down he knows that he sounds like a fool when he answers some of the question pose to him about the president.

lira12_joy No obligation how? Why did he accept that money to start with? That man must just resign

Lol 🙄😳😳😳😳 guys is this true. Did he really say that?

First Eskom and now SARS..😂😂😂CR ase motho le di obligation

lira12_joy The President of no obligation, MYANC has given us this tsotsi. Modimo

Ufa nini kodwa cupcake?! Saze savelelwa amalies

Very nice! of course he is not obliged to account to anything that is failing before him or under his presidency ...🤣🤣😴

Useless SABC cant make a follow up, on stupidity.

Absolute nonsense! Clearly Magwenya is living in his own world together with his president and they both do not understand the laws that governs the monetary system of SA! What a load of rubbish! SARS must move swiftly and charge Ramaphosa. 🤞🏾

This is wat is Called Abuse of Power ....but l say Nothing......

CyrilRamaphosa has no obligation to do anything we’re not surprised!

No no.SARS said MUSTAFA didn't declare 580 000. This spokesperson o irrelevant

lira12_joy Mr no obligation useless man CyrilRamaphosa

you are making it worse😂😂

Tonight we stuck there in wheel in V&A waterfront because of loadshedding SA it's becoming a joke

No man nonsense

Magwenya paralyzed SABC jounors man,yerrrrrr after confidently asking that question they couldn't make any follow up ,moer,that was cruel man🤣🤣🤣🤣

The spokesperson is talking nonsense!!!!

Yerrrrrrr! Is that a response or I don't care attitude. Why is everyone subjected to pay tax and declare business interests etc. Us the unknown citizens. cANCer it's spreading fast in our body SA-RIP in advance

This all a Game and delay tactics, once SARB and SARS establish that he was supposed to declare also, then the blame is going to shift to Management of the Farm...they might charged and declaration will be done.

Uyanya

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

But his business is suppose to convert the money into our currency regardless you can't keep foreign currencies on yourself it should go to the SARB let them take the fee and take ur share the same with local banks they will charge a fee

Why should people still declare or pay tax if the one person who should lead by example has a spokesperson who says he is under no obligation to declare/or pay Tax

Both parties have to declare, the buyer and the seller regardless the country or the currency unless you live in the criminal world.

What about the rest of us?

This guy is so arrogant it's even scary

Can sars confirm that it was disclosed as gross income for the years in question

So the President does business in SA using Foreign currency!?! Then stores it as cash in his place of business and it's cool!? Why weren't cattle collected!? It's all so fishy

Is that the law, then no issues

So it allegedly jumped into his couch 🛋 seriously do they think we are stupid

Yoh i saw SABC n other journalists accept that without any follow up questions on that 😒

That is one hell of an emotional response

Poor useless Magwenya guy,he thinks being a prepaid President makes Ramaphosa special..

So he can earn an income and not declare it for tax purpose?

🤣🤣🤣aybo
