South African television personality and radio host, Bonang Matheba, has made an appearance in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court over alleged tax fraud.
The 31-year-old former girlfriend of Nigerian music star, D’banj, has been charged for allegedly not paying personal tax from 2008 to 2017, and company tax from 2014 to 2017.
She was expected to appear on September 27 but missed her appearance, as she was overseas.
Wearing blue jeans and a black blazer, Matheba briefly appeared in court in on Wednesday.
The television personality’s legal team requested a postponement of at least 12 days to finalise its representations.
The state has requested the representations at least three days before the next court date, which means Matheba’s legal team needs to have their representations completed by 22 November.
Matheba’s manager, Davin Phillips, says she has the right team in place to ensure that she complies as she’s a law-abiding citizen and wants to work towards finalising the matter.
Matheba and D’banj went public with their romance when they shared a kiss after the Nigerian star won the evolution award during the 5th annual MTV Africa Music Awards in held Durban, South Africa on July 18, 2015.
