This followed a joint investigation by the serious commercial crime unit and the revenue service Sars, said Mulaudzi. “Hlakudi has been charged for contravening the Tax Administration Act for allegedly not declaring his income during the period 2016-2018, with Sars losing approximately R30m. He is charged, firstly, in his personal capacity and, secondly, as a director of three entities.
