Mzansi is wondering if Somizi is pulling a stunt to avoid giving Mohale any money after Sunday World reported that SARS auctioned off his luxury furniture in Johannesburg last week to settle his R3.5 million tax debt. The publication also reported that South African Revenue Service (SARS) also ordered television producer Legend Manqele, who produced his reality show, Living the Dream with Somizi, to pay R1.5-million of his and Mhlongo’s royalties into a SARS account and not into their lawyer’s account after they had instructed him to do so earlier this month.

The Sandton North sheriff Kgomotso Mphahlele told the Sunday tabloid that she had put Somizi’s furniture under the hammer after he failed to pay at least R3.5 million in tax debt he’s been owing since 2014. The items auctioned off included:

“A Samsung washing machine, a white sculpture (Guman Head), Le Creuset bowl, three plastic bar chairs, two red human statues, a Hisense television set with a remote, a Smeg dishwasher, two brass painted coffee tables, one Carrol Boyes knife set with stand, a Carrol Boyes bowl, five various Le Creuset pots, a Gold Air-gas heater, a Delonghi oil heater, a Samsung fridge, a silver kitchen bowl, three glass vases, eight cushions, a sleeper couch, a wooden TV stand with drawers, dining chairs and a table and knife set with stand,” reads the notice.
