MAKING HEADLINES
A few years ago, Dr Malinga made headlines when he opened up about his SARS woes. The taxman then revealed that the star singer owed over R500 000 in unfiled taxes.
Amid his woes, he lost some of his flashiest cars, furniture, and other movable possessions. His lush house was also on the verge of being repossessed. Against Dr. Malinga’s woes, many celebrated celebrities, including Makhadzi, Oskido, and Black Coffee, helped him.
In one of his interviews, Dr Malinga talked about his woes: “I needed help. However, I sacrificed my celebrity status; I didn’t care about being judged. I didn’t go out and rob people like many people having financial issues. I asked for help.”
