South African Revenue Service Mulls Legal Action Over Zuma Book

The State Security Agency has sent a cease and desist letter to investigative journalist Jacques Pauw and his publisher over revelations in his new book that expose how millions of rands of taxpayers' money flowed into the bank accounts of bogus spies, along with other revelations about President Jacob Zuma's government. This comes as the South African Revenue Service indicated it was considering legal action against Pauw over the unlawful disclosure of taxpayer information.
