Renowned TV presenter and actor Moshe Ndiki is facing the possibility of losing his assets after reportedly failing to pay a tax debt amounting to just over R1 million. Despite the possibility, the actor has been presented with options to either dispute or comfortably settle the debt.
The Ready Steady Cook South Africa host joins a growing list of celebrities, such as fellow actor Thapelo Mokoena, who are in trouble with the South African Revenue Service (Sars). According to a report by City Press, Moshe Ndiki risks having his assets auctioned off after the revenue collector wrote a second letter of demand for more than R1 million in tax debt.
Sars targets Moshe Ndiki over R1.2 million tax debt
The publication reports that on 26 August 2025, Sars gave the actor, who welcomed twins via surrogacy, an ultimatum to settle R600,000 within ten business days. In a second letter dated 11 September and addressed to his company, Moshe Ndiki (Pty) Ltd, Sars threatened to take legal action against the TV personality should he fail to settle approximately R1.2 million in full or enter into a payment plan.
When contacted by City Press for comment, Sars spokesperson Siphithi Sibeko denied, stating that he wasn’t legally permitted to discuss taxpayer information with the media.
“I am prohibited by law from divulging confidential taxpayer information, so Sars will not be commenting on your questions,” Siphithi Sibeko said.
The publication reports that Moshe Ndiki accrued a R1.2 million tax debt after he failed to pay income taxes for more than one tax period.
