• Tamia Mpisane shared a simple post on her Instagram account, signalling a change from her usual flashy content
• Her post comes amid her mother-in-law, Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mkhize's, ongoing battle with the South African Revenue Service (SARS)
• Eagle-eyed social media users noticed subtle changes, while others praised her simple look

Reality TV star and socialite Tamia Mpisane shared a toned-down social media post, as her mother-in-law, Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, faces mounting pressure from the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Shauwn Mkhize has had some of her movable assets repossessed and auctioned off by the revenue collector in a bid to recover a tax debt totalling almost R40 million.

All eyes are on MaMkhize’s family amid her ongoing battle with SARS. While her son Andile Mpisane has been the definition of unbothered, his wife Tamia has toned down on her lavish social media posts.

SARS seize MaMkhize's flashiest cars

Meanwhile, Tamia Mpisane's toned-down post comes at a time when SARS is stripping away the Mpisane-Mkhize riches.

Briefly News reported that Tamia's mother-in-law, Shauwn Mkhize, had her luxury vehicles put up for auction as SARS aims to recover money owed.

Over the years, MaMkhize has pampered herself with top-of-the-range luxury vehicles. It is unclear if SARS repossessed and auctioned off all of them or not.
