"When Zonke says she wants R400k for a booking she doesn’t really want the R400k — it’s her way of saying 'go away.' And when someone actually says here's the money you want she gets disappointed."

Zonke's R18 million tax drama

In a previous report from Briefly News, Zonke ran into trouble with the taxman as she was said to owe SARS R18 million in taxes. This was however caused by the SARS team struggling to contact her regarding the missed payments.

"She has been paying her taxes, but some details slipped through the cracks, and she defaulted," a team member said. They further added that this often happens with artists because they get paid via gigs.
