The past few days have been such a roller-coaster for musician Dr Malinga and his financial woes with the South African Revenue Services (SARS). However, Dr Malinga is making amends as he just paid a hefty amount to SARS.
Dr Malinga has been through it with the South African Revenue Services (SARS), following the news of having most of his assets confiscated by the taxman. However, there has been a glimpse of a light at the end of the tunnel for Dr Malinga following his tell-all interview on Podcast and Chill with MacG.
Undeniably, Mzansi has been up in arms to Dr Malinga's story of financial difficulties as well as his failing to sustain his lifestyle. Taking to social media, Dr Malinga has announced that he has already paid the Taxman an amount of R100K to date.
"Just paid 100k to SARS Thank you so much Fam Thanks bye" wrote Dr Malinga
Just paid 100k to SARS Thank you so much Fam Thanks bye 🙏🙆♂️
Tweeps have since came into Dr Malinga's defense, while questioning him why he paid in the first place. They are making comparisons that other races do not even surrender to SARS and why should he, on the basis of his race and ethnicity. "Why you paying them … SARS is not chasing other races they’re busy with black people Wena you should’ve thanked people who donated without telling how much they gave .. put your money under the mattress and file for bankruptcy" wrote Chris Excel

Truth be told, the South African Revenue Services comes for all races as well as gender. As long as someone's taxes does not align, they do confiscate the assets to settle what is owed to them. One tweep went on to made an example of his neighbor who owed SARS an amount of R3 million while disputing the statement that SARS only come for black people.

Some tweeps are certainly not jumping for joy that Dr Malinga has managed to sort out his financial woes with SARS. As they believe that Dr Malinga's status has helped him a great deal for the donations and other assistance from fellow celebrity friends. Had he has not been a famous musician, he would not be at the position he has at right now.
"Good for you. Theres a family about to lose their home, no one will help them. Bcoz their not famous or offered the platform to ask for help. Ppl will offer help or sympathize when its a celebrity but can't offer their neighbour a plate of food a money to go job hunting" wrote Thami Myeni
