The producer of Muvhango is said to be in a sticky situation after being arrested for tax fraud.

Duma Ka Ndlovu arrested for tax fraud

Muvhango is once again topping social media trends, and this time, it's not over staff non-payment - well, not yet, anyway.

The show's producer, Duma Ka Ndlovu, was allegedly arrested on Monday night, 30 September over tax fraud allegations.

He and two others suspected of being his accomplices, or "tax practitioners" according to eNCA's Heidi Giokos, were taken into custody.

Ndlovu, who is also behind the hit show Queen Modjadji, reportedly owes the tax man around a whopping R25M and is facing charges of contravention of the Tax Administration Act. He was later granted bail of R100K:

"He has pleaded not guilty to the charges; his bail is unopposed from the state. He tells the court he is not a risk to the public and releasing him on bail would be no risk."
