SARS argues the right to privacy and protection of taxpayers’ information, and Pauw’s lawyers argue for protecting access to information and the public interest. This seminar will discuss the merits of both arguments. Speaker Bio: Siviwe Mdoda is a member of R2K National Working Group and a Western Cape Provincial Working Group member. He is a former R2K National Organizer responsible for designing popular education programs.  Back
