Tax season is coming, and SARS has a new boss. In this edition of Pap and Politics, Thabo Baloyi speaks to Dr Johnstone Makhubu, the new SARS Commissioner, about making tax less terrifying, chasing the illicit economy, closing the tax gap, and what young workers, freelancers, side-hustlers and first-time taxpayers need to know. Less panic. More compliance. Fewer eFiling nightmares.

5B ON THIS DAY (02 JULY 26)

What happened on this day in history?

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (02 JULY 26)

She changed a name before she changed a room, then kept slipping between microphones, cameras, and boardrooms like one lane was never enough. Part screen siren, part hook specialist, part reinvention artist, she made early-2000s cool feel glossy and bilingual without announcing the lesson. Who is this Jersey-born shapeshifter with rhythm, range, and a professionally strategic glow-up?”  

5B I BET YOU CAN'T FIND - BEEN TO REHAB (1 JULY 26)

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (1 JULY 26)

She was once treated like a footnote in someone else’s fairy tale, then outlasted the script and walked into the crown anyway. Part country-house whisper, part tabloid weather system, she turned scandal’s shadow into ceremonial daylight. Who is this late-blooming sovereign who won by surviving the long game?
