Judge Jacqueline Henriques issued the order on Monday, 26 October 2026. She appointed curator bonis Willem Jacobus Venter to sell the properties without a reserve price.
Key details
- Tax debt: SARS says Mkhize owes about R125.9 million in total — roughly R13.33 million in personal income tax (including interest as of September 2025) plus R112.57 million for which she is held personally liable from the Zikhulise Group.
- Properties: Four at 56 Adrianne Street (registered to Israeli businessman Yaron Peretz) and one at 22 Aston Street (held by 22 Aston Investments (Pty) Ltd). SARS argues Mkhize is the beneficial owner of all five.
- Value: Estimated combined market value ~R35 million; expected forced-sale realisation ~R24.5 million (affected by damp damage and poor maintenance). Four properties also have ~R1.79 million in unpaid municipal charges, plus high ongoing costs (security ~R188,000/month; insurance ~R98,000 every six months).
Mkhize, her son Andile Mpisane, and the related companies opposed the application, arguing a sale was premature because ownership and whether the properties can be used to settle the debts have not yet been finally decided by a court. The judge rejected those objections, finding SARS had shown on a balance of probabilities that Mkhize holds beneficial ownership, while noting the underlying ownership dispute will be resolved in a separate action.
What happens next
Sale proceeds must go into an interest-bearing trust account and stay there pending the outcome of that separate case. SARS must launch the ownership action within one month. The opposing parties were ordered to pay the costs of this application.
This continues Mkhize’s ongoing legal and financial battles with SARS.
