Cape Town - The Progressive Professionals Forum (PPF) on Sunday called on Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan to stop his attacks on SA Revenue Service (Sars) commissioner Tom Moyane.

The PPF is headed by Mzwanele (Jimmy) Manyi, who is a strong ally of President Jacob Zuma and the Gupta family.

The PPF statement was in response to a parliamentary reply by Gordhan last week, in which he criticised Sars executive and PPF head of media and communications Luther Lebelo over his comments regarding rating agencies.
