Evelyn Groenink was speaking outside the Hawks' offices - where Pillay and Johan van Loggerenberg presented themselves. 


They were told to present themselves to the Hawks Thursday morning to receive a warning statement - along with Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.


The finance minister refused following legal advice he received.  


Groenink believes this is not the ANC of old.


"What I would like to see is for the ANC to come back to its rational self and its idealistic and honest self and embrace, once again, the old ideals of sharing wealth and not keeping it for a clique on top. Having a good tax institution is central to that and I hope the ANC will start to see that and work for that again."


She Told JacarandaFM News' Maryke Vermaak that she is planning to write an open letter to President Jacob Zuma.
