Edward Kieswetter, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) Commissioner, is set to vacate his post after a seven-year tenure. Kieswetter will be honoured with an honorary doctorate from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology for his significant contributions to society. He credits the 14,000 SARS employees for the agency's successful turnaround, citing their discipline and professional ethics. Kieswetter introduced advanced systems and modernised technology during his leadership, but believes the true legacy is the people.
