South African TV presenter, Bonang Matheba, has described
as trash a report that she appeared in court facing tax fraud charges.
According to Sunday World, Matheba was summonsed to appear
in the Joburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Monday for tax fraud but
eventually appeared briefly on Wednesday after making arrangements with the
Hawks.
The matter was postponed indefinitely pending investigations. However the local celebrity’s PR team deny the allegations, telling Channel24 that the article "contains factual errors" and that Bonang "was never summonsed to appear and never appeared on charges of tax fraud".

Davin Phillips the executive director of Celebrity Services
Africa, who represent Bonang, said they will be taking Sunday World to the
ombudsman as well as any other necessary legal steps.
NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane told Channel24 that
Bonang did not appear in court and that there is no official tax fraud case on
the roll against her as it stands.
"The matter was not enrolled pending further
investigations," Mjonondwane said.
