A 59-year-old suspect is scheduled to appear before the Standerton Magistrates Court on 14 April 2026, following his receipt of a court summons on 19 March 2026.
The summons stems from a preliminary investigation conducted by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), which uncovered allegations of tax evasion. According to SARS, the suspect failed to submit outstanding personal income tax returns for the period between 2008 and 2023.
As a result of the alleged non-compliance, SARS was prejudiced and suffered a total loss of R307 million.
