Mamkhize’s Mansion Raided by SAPS

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) and police have raided the Durban home of socialite and multi-millionaire Shauwn Mkhize, affectionately known as MaMkhize.

The SARS said in a statement it was “pleased to announce a significant development in our effort to combat tax evasion and criminal activity that undermines the country’s economy”.

 

 

 

 

High court grants preservation order
“The KwaZulu-Natal Local Division of the Durban High Court has granted a preservation order, and a search-and-seizure warrant in the case involving the commissioner for SARS versus Shauwn Mkhize and others,” said SARS boss Edward Kieswetter.

“This decision is a crucial step in SARS’s strategic objective to make it increasingly hard and costly for taxpayers who wilfully and intentionally engage in criminal activity.

“Over the past few years, SARS has been diligently investigating and cracking down on the construction industry so that it complies with tax laws.That taxman said the recent enforcement action was one of many steps that SARS has taken in collaboration with the South African Police Service and the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), to uphold the integrity of our tax system.

“The orders were obtained to prevent the dissipation of realisable assets, which could hinder the collection of taxes, and to secure evidence of potential non-compliance with tax laws administered by the SARS Commissioner.”

Kieswetter expressed gratitude to the law-enforcement agencies — “the South African Police Service, Hawks, and SARS members — for exemplary cooperation that accomplished this assignment under difficult conditions.”

“SARS will not waiver in executing its mandate without fear, favour, or prejudice, regardless of any persons’ standing in society. No one is above the law; it is therefore critically important that SARS acts emphatically to ensure that all meet their legal obligations,” said Kieswetter.

Law enforcement agencies will act to stop lawlessness
“Today’s search-and-seizure operation must communicate an unambiguous message to all that law-enforcement agencies will act to stop lawlessness. The most vulnerable in our society, the [older people], and children depend on the state through taxes to assuage and mitigate poverty, unemployment, and hunger,” he said.

Sunday World understands that the raid was conducted at about 11am at a mansion in Durban’s posh suburb of Lalucia, where a large contingent of police and SARS officials, together with key and lock experts, were present.

One source who spoke to Sunday World confirmed the raid.

“We don’t know what was happening because we just saw a police convoy and SARS officials. It was a serious thing because they were police nyalas. Police were also heavily armed,” the source said.

Application to attach assets
MaMkhize, the daughter of ANC struggle stalwart Florence Mkhize, has a never-ending war with the taxman.

The last encounter was in May 2023, when SARS launched an application to attach 13 of MaMkhize’s vehicles, including a Lamborghini owned by Shandi Trust and her Premier Soccer League football outfit, Royal AM.

In the Shandi Trust, MaMkhize is believed to be the main shareholder. The matter relates to R37-million in tax that the businesswoman is believed to owe revenue service.

Springbok siblings Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse will fulfill their late father’s final wish when they play alongside each other in the rugby team’s game against Wales.

The occasion is the first time that the Breidbach brothers have played in the starting squad together. To make it even more special, Jaden will play in the number nine jersey, while Jordan will play at ten.

The Boks will face the Dragons in the final test match of the year on Saturday, 23 November, at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
 

 

JADEN AND JORDAN HENDRIKSE TO FULFILL THEIR FATHER’S LAST WISHES
According to Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse’s mother, Joleen, it was always their dream to play for the Springboks.

It was also the wish of her late husband, Brian Hendrikse, that they play together on the national team.

While Brian – who was a sports administrator – got to see his son Jaden being called up to the Springboks in 2021, he died before Jaden could receive his green and gold colours earlier this year.

Brian, who died in June 2023, said his dream was to see his sons play scrumhalf and flyhalf on the same team and then play in the Boks together.

A year after his death, the first part of his wish became a reality when Jordan Hendrikse signed with the Sharks, where he played alongside Jordan.

Brian’s final wish will now come true as the siblings gear up to play in their first Springboks game together – in the starting squad!
Speaking to Daily Dispatch, Joleen said of her son’s achievements: “We are proud of what they have achieved. They have worked very hard, from playing in Breidbach to being in the Springboks. It is something they always told me and their father they would like to achieve.”

The emotional mom added: “They must enjoy the game on Saturday, and always remember it’s about the team, and they are playing for the country”.

RASSIE: ‘THEY DESERVE THIS CHANCE’
Meanwhile, Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus revealed he was happy to give Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse a chance to play together this weekend.

“Hopefully, they have that special link that we hope they find on Saturday.”

Viral dance sensation Skomota is seemingly spreading his wings to DJing and often trends whenever he spins the decks.

Thanks to his huge social media following, Skomota often trends whenever he posts or gets posted.

SKOMOTA WOWS FANS WITH RECENT SET
Against his newfound fame, he has been cashing in millions from ambassadorial gigs to club appearances.

 
With his now-viral video, Mzansi was more than convinced that he must add DJing to his income streams.

Skomota is trending after his video spinning the decks went viral. In the now-viral video, he was DJing with Mystro, who was seemingly enjoying the set.However, little is known about the joint he was at when the video was taken and whether he was booked.

He has undoubtedly been receiving his flowers against the trending video, which has seen his old DJying videos resurface online.

This is not his first time taking over the decks at a local joint. He also wowed fans in September when he had a set at a local joint.

However, just like other sets, his recent performance left Mzansi divided. Fans and several celebrities have since shared their two cents on his latest instalment.

An X user compared Skomota with DJ Sbu, who is making headlines for the wrong reasons. The user commented, “He’s better than DJ Sbu.”

Another user commented, “I didn’t know he’s this good, you, even better than Prince Kaybee.” Popular X user LubnaAman8943 praised Skomota, “Bro just unlocked the ‘no mercy’ achievement.”

Prince Kaybee, who has pushed the trends against the now-viral clip, also weighed in with his views. The celebrated muso said, “Music is the most disrespected art to date.”
Last year, Skomota made headlines after winning the lottery. However, against the backdrop of his big win, the star quickly spread his wings to club hosting and paid appearances.

Last year, a rumour mill revealed that Skomota makes around R545 000 monthly. Earlier this year, a leaked chat revealed that Skomota costs R90 000 to book.

However, his management has not confirmed the amount circulating on social media.

This year, Skomota once suspended all bookings amid exploitation rumours. The decision came after his close friend and road manager accused Moruti wa Dikota of exploitation.

Skomota’s friend Skothane sa Pitori revealed that Moruti wa Dikota allegedly defrauded the star thousands.

While on the LiPO Podcast, Skothane sa Pitori said Skomota has no bank account. He added that all his bookings are made through Dikota’s account, which Skomota cannot access.

You may have heard of the talented actress Mona Monyane, best known for her role in the hit show Muvhango.

In her Instagram post, she expressed her frustrations but did so with such grace and positivity. “These are my confessions,” she stated. “I know the power of wellness because I live to experience a force that is intent on destroying me, and yet, look what God has done for me.” Can we take a moment to appreciate that beautiful perspective?she mentioned that the day of her video coincided with the seventh birthday of her daughter, Amani.

Even when this darkness challenges my reality. I choose life. Not death,” she passionately declared. Talk about strength!

Mona’s journey has been far from easy. The couple faced unimaginable heartache when they lost their second baby just a week after she was born. Such a loss is heavy on any family and can put immense pressure on a relationship. While they may have separated after this tragic event, it seems that the emotional ties are still complicated, especially when children are involved.Many in the comments section showed their unwavering support for Mona, applauding her for choosing to focus on her wellbeing amidst the chaos.
