Bonang Matheba’s Tax Fraud Case Struck Off Roll

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.”

Yesterday morning saw Bonang Matheba appear at the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court. This was to face charges of tax fraud against her.

The matter was however postponed till the 14th of November.

Bonang arrived in court straight from a flight from New York. She was dressed in black boots, a pair of jeans and a black scarf.

She recently hired a new audit team to work with Sars so as to sort out her tax issues.

 

Bonang Matheba hires new team to deal with the taxman

Bonang Matheba has now hired a new team to help her sort out issues with the taxman. This comes after she failed to appear in court on Thursday as she was away. A warrant for her arrest was thus issued but is ineffective unless she fails to appear in court before 4th October.

Bonang has therefore decided to comply with Sar and let the law take its course.

“The recent enquiry came as a surprise to Ms Matheba‚ nonetheless Ms Matheba has full respect and will comply with Sars‚ the South African legal system and processes‚” her manager Davin Phillips said.

Davin added that the star had hired a new audit team to help her sort out her troubles with the taxman.

“She has appointed a new audit team to work with SARS to streamline and resolve this issue.”

Bonang Matheba to face arrest if she does not appear in court

Bonang Matheba was to appear before the court yesterday, something that she was unable to do. A warrant of arrest has therefore been pushed to October 4th.

She is currently in New York and thus could not make it to appear in court. She was to answer questions on her personal and business tax returns.

Bonang’s warrant will remain ineffective if she appears in court before the date.

“The warrant for her arrest was benched. What a bench warrant simply means is that there is a warrant for her arrest but it is not effective immediately. It is being held over until the 4th (of October). If she does not appear on the 4th, it immediately becomes effective. She has to appear in person.”
