South African Revenue Services (SARS) and police raided Shauwn Mkhize’s house, uncovering more than R37 million in unpaid taxes, 40 firearms, and numerous luxury vehicles. Questions arise about the legality of the firearms and Mkhize's links to a former presidential protection services officer.
When police and South African Revenue Services officials raided Shauwn Mkhize’s house this week, they found more than just the documents and assets they were looking for.Sars says Mkhize owes it around R37 million in unpaid taxes.But while officers were inside the house, they found more than 40 firearms, along with documents, in a safe. Six other firearms were found hidden in another part of the house.
According to the publication, the guns found in the safe belong to a taxi boss who used to be a former presidential protection services police officer. The former officer reportedly provides security services for Mkhize.There are also questions about the legality of the firearms. Mkhize would need permission to store the guns from both the owner of the firearms and the police.“The guns that were recovered included rifles, shotguns and handguns, plus 200 rounds of ammunition.
“This decision is a crucial step in Sars’s strategic objective to make it increasingly hard and costly for taxpayers who wilfully and intentionally engage in criminal activity. “Over the past few years, Sars has been diligently investigating and cracking down on the construction industry so that it complies with tax laws.”
