Actress fails to appear for tax case again
Actress and director Sonia Mbele once again failed to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court for her tax evasion case.
Mbele and two others are facing 42 counts of contravening the Tax Administration Act, reports EWN.
The three are directors of the reality show: The Real Housewives of South Africa.
After failing to make an appearance last week in court, claiming not to be well, Mbele submitted another medical certificate yesterday.
The prosecution told the court that Mbele's note states that she has a surgical medical condition.
NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said: ‘We raised concerns as the prosecution because we cannot have undue delays and and the court then marked the issue final. We hope all three will be present on the 20 October 2023.’
A warrant for Mbele's arrest was stayed once again, but Magistrate Susan du Pisanie warned that this would be for the last time.
Her two co-accused appeared in court.
