The tax fraud case against Bonang Matheba has been struck off the roll. This was done yesterday at the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court, after she paid an admission of guilt fine of R30,000.

She had been charged for not paying personal tax from 2008 – 2017 and company tax from 2014 – 2017.

In the hearing, the state prosecutor acknowledged that Bonang paid the admission of guilt fine. They went ahead to request that the matter be removed from court.

The request was granted.

The state is said to be happy with the recommendations Bonang made. She admitted to the charges, and they were thus satisfied.

Bonang is also happy with the outcome, according to her manager.

“She is feeling good and is happy that the matter has been resolved and we can move forward. There seems to have been a miscommunication and things have been compiled and now we can move forward.”

Bonang’s case has been resolved as she paid an admission of guilt fine of R30 000.

Bonang’s manager, Davin Phillips said “She is feeling good and is happy that the matter has been resolved and we can move forward. There seems to have been a miscommunication and things have been compiled and now we can move forward.

Bonang Batheba had been summoned to appear at the  Johannesburg Specialised Commerial Crimes Court  for her tax dispute with SARS.

Queen B had not paid personal tax from 2008 – 2017 and company tax from 2014-2017.

Media personality Bonang Matheba has once again had her tax fraud case postponed. This happened yesterday at the Commercial Crimes Court, in Johannesburg.

Appearing in court, she dressed down in blue jeans and a black blazer.

Bonang’s legal team requested the postponement, to finalise its representations. The state, has requested the representations at least three days before the next court date.

Therefore, the team needs to have completed the representations by the 22nd of November.

Davin Phillips, her manager, says she has the right team in place to ensure that she complies as she’s a law-abiding citizen and wants to work towards finalising the matter.

Bonang is thus expected to be back in court on the 27th of November.

She faces charges of evading personal taxes from 2007-2017, and company tax from 2014-2017.

Bonang Matheba teased fans and followers with the latest photos she shared on social media. In the photos, she is in the bathroom wearing lingerie.

Many times she takes bathroom selfies. This time however, she hires a professional photographer to get the perfect shots for her.

Bonang’s captions did not also reveal much. In one, she wrote: “it’s not a reliable source”, and for another: “I don’t remember.”
