Dirty war: Organised Crime v/s SARS & the citizens of SA

- The recent attempted assassination attempt on a SARS advocate and the still unsolved assassinations of liquidator Cloete Murray and his son who who had done work for SARS have shone the spotlight on the threats faced by SARS for going after organised criminals for tax evasion. In this interview with BizNews, SARS whistleblower Johann van Loggerenberg details the threats faced by investigators during his time at the Revenue Service. “It's either I'm going to bribe you, and if I can't bribe you, I'm going to threaten you. And if I can't threaten you, I'm going to make sure that you lose your job. And if I can't do that, then I'm going to hurt you or someone close to you. If I can't do that, and/or, I'll get rid of the evidence. And if that won't work, I'll kill you. And if that won't work, well, we'll just disassemble all of you. “Recalling the “fall” of the then enforcement component at SARS, he says: “We not only made enemies amongst criminals, but we made enemies amongst politicians, influential business people, organised criminals, organised criminal syndicates, and even people who were behaving or misbehaving or behaving badly among our friends in the criminal justice system and the intelligence service…” Van Loggerenberg says this is not a war that the country can afford to lose, and details the measures needed to fight it effectively.

As a single income household, I'm always amazed at how vigilant SARS Is and to what lengths they'll go to retrieve the relatively small amount which I have to pay in every year. But when it comes to people owing huge amounts, there seems to be no action taken.
They prey on the soft targets. Now with Ai we will become even easier targets. Tax and interest are evils against humanity imo.
I had a business that closed down 12 years ago; still have to pay account to file 0; Anc's corruption and Indians; chibese; foreigners; etc pay zero tax when they are taking over business in SA 😢😢😢😢
@@dk.650anc should not prey on citizens; a ruler pray over his people 😢😢😢😢
Great interview - the calibre o character and stance for truth is rarely matched. We need MORE Mr Loggenberg's
This man speaks beautifully
It is shocking how relentlessly they went after this man. What accountability has there been for the people who drove this fake destructive campaign. Please hold them accountable.
Johann van Loggerenberg suffering from PSTD and trauma, what are you doing now? Sooo much respect for you. God Bless you.
@@truth-Hurts375Just like you
PTSD
@@Bigzzzzzzz same thing
Yes you are right..I do..
@ZAR797 mmm..you are right..
Johann van Loggerenberg has to write a book about this era in SA. He is erudite and very clearminded, and this is history of a time when the wheels came off over the last few years of ANC incompetence, corruption and compicity in organized crime.
He did! 'Rogue. The inside story of SAR's elite crime busting unit'. Do yourself a favour, it'll make the hair on the back of your neck rise.
Respect Sir
GNU NEEDS to employ this man again. The experience and just heartfelt need for justice accompanied by the 'know how' - sounds to me invaluable
This beast is a threat to SA democracy and our freedom implementing foreign policy removing freedom they are starting with with agriculture to track and trace animals and implementing CSE in schools. UN agenda2030 SDG's and agenda21 being implemented by the DA ministers. Its not end well for us. If we let this happen and ignorant of this
Awesome discussion ✅✅✅
Tax is a scam. Thik I'm talking nonsense? Consider this:
I earn R10 000.
SARS takes R3 000 income tax. I now have R7000
That 7k has 'paid' tax. Right? It is part of an income that was taxed. So it is now MY money.
Then I put the money in a retirement fund "tax-free" as SARS loves to tell us.
Do you know what SARS does when I am old and try to get that money? Charge me tax because it is income!
Here is another one:
I earn 10k
SARS takes 3k
So the 7k I have in my hand is now MY money. If I choose to buy a house worth 7k I am not gaining anything new, I am just converting cash to a house..of the same value. Right.
But as I buy that house BOOM Sars wants me to pay 'capital gains tax... about 10%, or 700, plus levis, call it 1000.
So now I must find R1000 to pay these taxes. What for? When I borrow the R1000, SARS takes R300 as income tax... so now I'm short again... I must borrow R300 to raise the full R1000 in taxes but when I receive R300, SARS takes R100 as income tax.
Even if I finally manage to rise the funds and buy the house I now have to pay property tax for owning the house that I own and paid for in full... WHY?
And another one:
After I pay R3000 tax for my 10k income, whenever i buy anything with the remainder I pay more taxes as VAT or some government or municipal levy.. at the end of the day my money will have been taxed 3-5 times!!!!! WHY?!!!
This is how we are being kept as slaves to feed SARS which in turn feeds ANC and the kleptocrats.
Yes my example is overly simplified but you get the point.
We need a TAX REVOLT in SA.
@@truth-Hurts375
1. I said "tax" without qualifying the level at which that tax is taken... be it municipal or national. tax of ANY kind is a scam, regardless of who is taking it.
2. All taxes are authorized at national level regardless of what level they are taken.
3. The DA is the only party to pass audits consistently in the most metros. I respect their ability to use people's money better... EVEN as I disagree with the taxation system.
4. If you earn less than x you don't get taxed is true at income tax level as it is at the pension level. You say the 124k as if it is a correction and repudiation... what if i worked harder and saved harder to have a better life in my old age?
I hope you are not defending tax and the taxation system because right now taxpayers are collapsing under the weight of this system with is siphoning money out of their pockets to dish it out to lazy, entitled leeches who burn down infrastructure and hold the nation to ransom when they demand more free stuff on top of the free electricity, water, houses, schooling, healthcare and even pocket money for single mothers who have babies indiscriminately... all of it funded by tax payer money that could otherwise go to building the nation's infrastructure.
@AlternativPerspectiv you really cleared up a lot of confusion for me, thx 67 old lady that just retired.
....it's not easy to teach a lazy person - common sense is usually uncommon and you should not overstretch yourself over an idiot who'll get worse and oblivious to constructive advice. Deep in his head he knows that he's shallow.
Superb! What an impressive human being and devoted South African. Ian Cameron needs to team up with him
How on earth was he lost to the system?
Long story. During Zuma's time he was falsely accused of embezzling money by setting up a unit to catch tax dodgers. The Sunday Times published false stories about him as headline news. He wrote a book entitled, 'Rogue. The inside story of SARS's elite crime busting unit' The guy was almost destroyed emotionally by the top politicians who were going to be nailed. Look how ragged he looks now. He is a magnificent man, a true hero. Just the way he puts the facts together in this interview is testimony to his thorough and methodical thinking.
ja 'the golden years of Law Enforcement'...
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!!
EVER
My BIGGEST problem with SARS is that I don't see my hard earned tax money put to GOOD USE! They just generally tend to disappear in thin air... IF i have retained my tax money I would have done much MORE GOOD (IMHO) in my community...things that make a difference to my community....and not some fat cat in the Cape!
A lot has been happening since the GNU everything done in the dark finally coming to the light
Sars is run by some of the best among us. But more than anything, I'm blown away by you eloquence Mr van Loggerenberg.
Thankyou sir for your dedication to stopping the law breakers in southafrica 👏👏👏
Fantastic speech and not a single note. Noone can deny anything he said! He is a priceless asset to this war 👌🏻🙏
we now have cartels operating in our country (groblersdal) drugs - this is a whole new ball game.
This is just wild
Sadly Anc's criminal activities destroyed SA: right now we are a dysfunctional; criminal country; grey listed due to crime; illicit trade; corruption 😢😢😢😢😢Sadly citizens are voting for these criminals😢😢😢😢
How can we the public assist. I know of plenty of middle aged men with Army training and the willingness to assist. Obviously more in the background, let's call it in a logistical capacity. There is s desperate need and willingness to take this criminal underworld head-on. Drug dealers, construction mafia......all this rubbish must be held accountable
Want to know if ALL POLITICIANS pay tax.
Thank you Johann.
No taxes taken from taxi industry....
I wonder how many politicians have taxis, and don't declare this specific income?
This man is brilliant and bad is never self sustainable forever
.
Its easy to be bad its not easy to be good God help the Bad now the hammer is falling now
Phenomenal interview thank you for service!! we need to bring this caliber of individuals back into our system not just at Sars, which currently Mr Kieswetter is doing a Phenomenal job, but at all SOE's in government, true patriots who didn't join to enrich themselves and destroy our society
Excellent!!
And the matras money🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂
Only foreigners must be taxed, not natives. I understand and do not have a problem with VAT, even if the unregistered are the ones feeling the pain,
but Income Tax & PAYE are not fair. You are right, people are voluntarily paying Tax, but it’s only because they are forced to.
The Government must stop spending and invest in Industries that will create income for all their expenditure including the Grants, Babies are now created for more profit
The GNU and SARS should re-employ this man !!! Makes one wonder WHY he is currently no longer involved..........he has clearly been traumatized (PTSD ??)
If citizens are punished for not paying their fair bit of tax,elicit tax dodgers excluded,should citizens not be rewarded for paying their fair share,maybe a decent rebate,how about an incentive for a change.
Yes I agree. Make babies for grants. People are so taxed in always.. including steeling.
Johan makes excellent suggestions for co operation between government and private sector as well as private sector initiatives. My heart goes out to the man he unfortunately remains locked in his past initiatives with sars. Gordhan had his own agendas, vile towards most, using some for his own agenda, of which Johan was one. Customs and exise became the biggest failure and the legacy of gordhan.
wow
Tsotsi ee
If only Sars paid rewards for tip-off of suspects😂
I know of loads of these guys dodging tax.
SARS may knock on your door if you are aware of crimes being committed and keep quiet about it ...
@@cobus76 🤣 doubt it, I highly doubt it.
But if they do, IL give the info any day on a agreement.
@@CBD-LIFE lol he's talking shyt mate
Dodging tax is norm especially in my hood. Everything is done cash. I know many avoiding tax as well
