Bonang Matheba tax fraud case struck off the roll‚ admission of guilt fine paid

The tax fraud case against Bonang Matheba was struck off the roll at the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday‚ after she paid an admission of guilt fine of R30‚000.

Bonang had been charged for not paying personal tax from 2008 - 2017 and company tax from 2014 - 2017.

The state prosecutor informed the court that Bonang had paid an admission of guilt fine and therefore they were requesting that the matter be removed from the court. The request was granted by the judge.

Several sources from the court‚ who were directly linked to the case confirmed that Bonang made the payment of R30‚000 at the court on Monday.

A source said the state was happy with the recommendations Bonang made and that she had filed the returns‚ which is what she had been charged for.

The source explained that criminally‚ Bonang admitted to the charges so they were satisfied.

Speaking on Bonang's behalf, her manager‚ Davin Phillips, said she was happy with the outcome.

"She is feeling good and is happy that the matter has been resolved and we can move forward. There seems to have been a miscommunication and things have been compiled and now we can move forward."
