SARS OWE US R838K !
City of Tshwane flexed its muscles by shutting off electricity to the SARS headquarters, citing unpaid bills amounting to a staggering R838,000. This unexpected blackout at the heart of the tax authority came as part of Tshwane's aggressive campaign dubbed "TSHWANE YA TIMA," aimed at reclaiming millions owed to the municipality through delinquent accounts.
The municipality didn't hold back, confirming their actions in a cheeky Facebook post, stating, "When you think we are here for a tax refund… BOOM, your lights are off. #SARS owes us 838 k #TshwaneYaTima." The post sparked a flurry of reactions across social media, with many applauding the municipality's creative approach to debt collection.
However, the drama didn't last long as SARS swiftly settled the outstanding bill in the late hours of Tuesday. Power was promptly restored to the headquarters, bringing an end to the electrifying standoff between the tax authority and the municipality.
