Stephen Grootes talks to Charles de Wet, Tax Executive at ENSafrica about the appointment of Dr Ngobani Johnstone Makhubu as the new SARS Commissioner, set to take over from Edward Kieswetter on 1 May 2026. The leadership change comes at a critical time for the revenue service, following a period of improved collections, stronger compliance and institutional rebuilding under Kieswetter. Makhubu’s elevation from Deputy Commissioner signals continuity in strategy, particularly around modernisation and taxpayer engagement, while also raising questions about how SARS will sustain momentum, deepen compliance and navigate evolving fiscal pressures in the years ahead. 

In other interviews, Renai Moothilal, CEO of the National Association of Automotive Component and Allied Manufacturers (NAACAM) talks about Chery’s decision to invest in local manufacturing with the recommissioning of its Rosslyn plant, marking a shift from importer to producer in South Africa. The move is seen as a strong vote of confidence in the country’s automotive sector, particularly given Chery’s rapid rise as a top-ten player with significant sales volumes and an expanding dealer network. The investment is expected to boost local production capacity, deepen the supplier ecosystem and support job creation.
