Mkhize's luxury cars to go under the hammer
A TOTAL of 13 luxury cars and a tour bus belonging to Shauwn Mkhize will go on auction next week from June 27 to July 2.
Mkhize, who was the owner of Royal AM Football Club, was investigated by SARS. Her La Lucia home was searched in August last year, after SARS was granted a preservation order by the Durban High Court. She allegedly owes the revenue services R37m in taxes.

Among the vehicles set to go under the hammer on Bidder's Choice are a 2020 Bentley Continental GTC, five BMWs, four Mercedes-Benz, two Toyota Hilux, a Nissan Hardbody and a Volkswagen Crafter.
One of the Mercedes-Benz is a Maybach S680 limited edition – only 100 were made in the world – retailing at about R5m according to cars.co.za.
The football club is also back on the market after a deal between Global Investments and SARS fell through after the company failed to meet the three-day payment deadline.
The reserve is R50 000 and the vehicles can be viewed in Johannesburg.

SA's auto sector hit by job losses and company closures
Low domestic sales of locally made cars, an influx of imports and low local content have led to 12 company closures and more than 4,000 job losses in the South African motor industry over two years, the trade minister said on Wednesday. South Africa, a market long dominated by the likes of Volkswagen, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz, saw sales of 515,850 locally produced cars last year, far below the South Africa Automotive Masterplan 2035 target of 784,509, minister Parks Tau told delegates at an auto parts conference. About 64% of vehicles sold in South Africa are imports. Additionally, localisation — the level of local assembly, labour and components — remains stagnant at 39%, well short of the 60% target, while US tariffs now significantly affect the country's R28.7bn automotive exports, he added. 'These pressures have triggered 12 company closures and more than 4,000 job losses in two years,' Tau said. South Africa's automotive industry employs 115,000 people directly, with more than 80,000 in component manufacturing alone. Experts say that with the US tariffs on cars and parts that were imposed from April, jobs are under threat as some companies are set to lose contracts in America. South Africa on Tuesday submitted a revised offer for a trade deal with Washington, in an effort to lower the 30% tariff US President Donald Trump imposed last week. To help respond to the challenges in the industry, an incentive scheme for local manufacturing now includes electric vehicles and associated components, Tau said. 'Localisation is not merely policy compliance, it is existential. A 5% increase in local content would unlock R30bn in new procurement, dwarfing the R4.4bn US export market,' Tau said. International manufacturers such as Stellantis and China's Chery are looking to localise production in South Africa, with Stellantis ready to break ground in the Eastern Cape.

State prioritises witness protection in AKA and Tibz murder case
Nomonde Zondi | Published 1 hour ago The State continues to protect its witnesses by keeping its cards close to its chest, refusing to give the defence names of the unknown additional witnesses and their statements in the murder cases of South African rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes and his friend Tebello 'Tibz' Motsoane. The friends were shot dead in Florida Road, Durban, outside Wish Restaurant in February 2023. Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi, Lindani Ndimande, Siyanda Myeza, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, and Lindokuhle Lindo Ndimande are accused of the murders; additionally, they are facing 10 other charges, including attempted murder. During the pre-trial conference at the Durban High Court on Wednesday morning, the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, advocate Lawrence Gcaba told the court that the State made it clear from the onset that they were not going to give the defence the names of the additional State witnesses and their statements in terms of section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Act. Section 144 allows the state to withhold the names of certain witnesses it intends to call during the trial. Previously, senior prosecutor Advocate Elvis Gcweka, who is working with Gcaba on the matter, told the court that the State would lead the trial with 45 witnesses and additional witnesses. The names of the additional witnesses have been withheld for their protection. 'I was approached and informed that an application to compel the State to give the d efence the witness statements would be made. That hasn't happened,' Gcaba told the court. He said he had told the defence to make the application. Defence lawyer Advocate Jimmy Howse SC said he had mentioned the issue of the witness statements to Gcaba. The former acting director of public prosecutions, now defence counsel advocate Simphiwe Mlotshwa, said they were contemplating compelling the State to give them the witness statements. As the defence counsels wanted to engage more on this, Judge Jacqueline Henriques interjected and said these discussions should not be taking place in the presence of the media. 'I am uncomfortable with that being laid out in the public domain,' she said. She ordered both the State and defence to have a discussion about this, off record, while she stood the matter down and the gallery was cleared. The matter then returned to court, and Gcaba requested that the court make an order for the matter to be adjourned to June 19, 2026 and during this time, both parties would sort out their issues. It was also agreed between the parties that witness statements would be given to the defence six weeks before the trial starts. Judge Henriques said the presiding officer (Judge) who would be allocated to the matter would certify it is trial-ready. [email protected]
