Dr Malinga’s Financial Woes and Major Comeback
Dr Malinga’s recent show of wealth has left many convinced that he has bounced back from financial struggles.
In 2022, the musician made headlines when he revealed that he owed SARS approximately R2 million. His financial troubles led to his assets, including furniture and cars, being auctioned to settle his debt.
During this challenging period, fans and fellow celebrities rallied behind him, donating money to help him recover financially.
However, shortly after receiving donations, rumors spread that Dr Malinga had purchased a McLaren worth R5 million. The allegations sparked outrage, as many believed he had used the public’s generosity to fund a luxury lifestyle.
The musician was quick to shut down the rumors, stating that he had never purchased a McLaren and that people had misunderstood the situation.
