A Durban High Court authorises SARS to sell five Johannesburg properties linked to Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, worth about R35m, in a tax dispute. The outlets describe the decision as a further setback for Mkhize after litigation related to the properties.
Several reports say the sale is driven by mounting costs connected to holding the properties, including security, insurance and municipal charges. While the court allows the sale, coverage also notes that SARS must pursue its tax claim separately to establish entitlement to execute against any proceeds.
There are minor differences in emphasis and detail across the articles. Some foreground that proceeds are held in trust while SARS pursues its tax claim, while others focus on the financial pressures and specific categories of costs cited by the court. Overall, the outlets largely agree on the same court outcome, the number and location of properties, and the approximate R35m value.
