Sars commissioner says the fight against financial crime and corruption is a continuous one

# The South African Revenue Service Commissioner, Edward Kieswetter, says the country being removed from the grey list is a milestone on a long-term journey toward building a robust and resilient financial ecosystem. South Africa officially exited the Financial Action Task Force greylist after successfully implementing key reforms to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Kieswetter says delisting is a vote of confidence, but it is not an end to vigilance. He adds that the fight against financial crime and corruption is a continuous one.
