The larger-than-life media personality's valuables were apparently put under the hammer to recover the money he owes SARS. The Idols SA judge reportedly failed to pay at least R3.5 million in tax debt since 2014.
Some of the star's goods that were sold at the auction include a Samsung washing machine, a white sculpture (Guman Head), two red human statues, a Hisense television set with a remote, a Smeg dishwasher, a Gold Air gas heater, a DeLonghi oil heater and a Samsung fridge, among other things.
Sunday World reports that the items were sold on 18 May in Randburg after SARS obtained a judgment in the Johannesurg High Court on 5 November, 2015. The publication reports that SARS also ordered TV producer Legend Manqele to pay R1.5 million of Somizi Mhlongo and ex-bae Mohale’s royalties into a SARS account. Manqele produced SomG's reality show, Living the Dream With Somizi.

Shauwn Mkhize hooks Somizi Mhlongo up with the best divorce lawyer
In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that Somizi Mhlongo reached out to his wealthy friend, Shauwn Mkhize, to ask her to refer him to the best divorce lawyer. The reality TV star said the businesswoman is the best person to help him because she went through a similar situation with ex-hubby, Sbu Mpisane.
In the latest episode of Living the Dream With Somizi, he described his divorce with his ex, Mohale Motaung, as "a money heist". SomG doesn't want Mohale to get a cent from him because he reportedly came with nothing to their failed marriage.
Kaya 959 reports that the fuming Idols SA judge said in the latest episode of his show: "You don’t just walk into somebody else’s life with nothing and expect to leave with everything. That is being a con artist. It’s a money heist."
