@Tshegg_GP said:

@ymogwere commented:

"Guys, we can't carry on like this... it's high time that all artist managers must undergo training on how to comply with tax, aka SARS. We can't still be behaving like Mahlathini and Mahotela Queens "

@obi1canob added:

"SARS is not a nightmare. Pay them on time; don't wait until they come and ask for their money because by then, it is too late. You hardly hear of white artists and celebrities having issues with the taxman."
