According to ZiMoja, Zonke has always paid her taxes; however, due to administrative oversights, she missed a few, totalling R18 million. The SARS team struggled to contact her regarding the missed payments.

"She has been paying her taxes, but some details slipped through the cracks, and she defaulted. This sort of thing can easily happen to artists because they are self-employed and get paid for gigs per invoice."

Zonke's team has intervened, and she is apparently paying the debt in monthly instalments.
