Moshe Ndiki claims he is a victim of tax fraud.
Ndiki made the claim after the South African Revenue Service (SARS) went after him for failing to pay his tax debts. According to documents filed at the Johannesburg High Court, SARS is accusing Ndiki of defaulting on his tax obligations for "one or more years".
The judgment states that Ndiki initially owed SARS more than R500,000, but SARS imposed a fine of R28,000 and levied over R67,000. Ndiki is now almost R600,000 in the red.
However, Ndiki maintains this is not his fault and that he is a victim of tax fraud.

He told Sunday World in a text message:
"Fraud was committed against my tax, and I’m resolving it. This whole thing is stressing me out.
“I know I did not do anything wrong, and I am working closely with SARS to make sure the matter is resolved and my name is cleared."
When pressed on the matter, Ndiki said he was not at liberty to elaborate.
SARS advised Ndiki to apply within 10 business days of the date of issuance, to arrange a payment plan if he couldn't afford to settle the full amount.
He was also advised to apply for suspension of the debt if he planned to submit (or had submitted) a formal dispute or compromise of a portion of the tax.
If Ndiki doesn't follow at least one of the options listed by SARS, it will seek a legal order to attach and auction off his assets.
