According to News24, Advocate Naude was the person in charge of investigating tax violations related to Shaun Mkhize’s company.
It is still unclear if this incident is directly related to her investigative work, as SARS has not yet found conclusive evidence linking the attack to her professional duties.
Shaun Mkhize, a well-known businesswoman and owner of Royal AM, was previously reported to owe SARS R37 million.
Advocate Naude’s investigation was part of efforts to scrutinize these tax claims.
