Actress Pearl Thusi says she owes money to South Africa’s Revenue Service (SARS), but disputes a widely reported tax demand of nearly R15 million. She characterizes the reported figure as incorrect and misleading.
Both outlets report that Thusi has moved to respond to the claims publicly, acknowledging a tax obligation while challenging the scale of the alleged bill. The reporting focus differs: one outlet emphasizes her claim that the figure is “grossly incorrect,” while the other highlights that she “breaks silence” on the reported SARS amount. Neither source provides detailed documents, a breakdown of the calculation, or an official SARS statement in the excerpts provided.
The central point of agreement across the reports is that Thusi accepts that she has a SARS liability, while maintaining that the specific amount reported in the media does not reflect the correct position.
