SARS nabs celebrity doctor on tax evasion

Well-known radio doctor Dr Leonard Mandlalele Mhinga (73) appeared in the Palm Ridge, Alberton, court on Monday facing 102 charges for not filing tax returns as far back as 2007, reports the Sowetan.

NPA spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole said Mhinga, husband of renowned singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka, had failed to submit income tax and value-added tax (VAT) returns to the South African Revenue Service (Sars) between 2007 and 2022, and VAT returns from 2009 to 2023.

“While there is no amount attached to non-filing, there are SARS admin interest and penalties,” Mohlatlole added.

The matter was postponed to 6 May.
