Award-winning singer Makhadzi, loved by fans around the globe for her hit tracks, recently found herself facing a staggering R6.6 million tax bill from the South African Revenue Services (SARS). However, she turned the tide with the help of a tax consultancy firm, STT Group Holding, who successfully challenged the astronomical figures and reduced the bill by a whopping 60%.

Sunday World reports that while the outcome appears positive, a dispute has emerged between Makhadzi and STT. The company claims that despite their agreement, Makhadzi has failed to pay their R400,000 compromise success fee, which amounted to 10% of the reduced debt. According to court documents filed by STT Group Holding, they entered a verbal agreement with Makhadzi, real name Ndivhudzannyi Decorate Ralivhona, in August 2023.
