The Queen's Sipho Manzini spends Mjekejeke's lottery winnings

It's a big week for The Queen's Mjekejeke who lands the numbers we all want to see. 

Winning lottery numbers. His luck strikes on Tuesday (9 November) after he takes a gamble on the lottery to save his family.

It's all good fortune and fun while his winnings are a secret but everything changes once word gets out. 

Of course everyone wants to know how much he's won exactly, including us. 

We spun the wheel and discovered that it's R350,000. 

So not a million-buck jackpot but substantial enough to have impact and cause trouble when it comes to problem people. 

How will he spend it? TVSA caught up with Sipho Manzini to get his take on his character's moolah. 

Turns out life doesn't imitate art in this case because Sipho tells us he's never won anything as big as Mjekejeke.

We asked him how he'd spend it if the winnings belonged to him and this is what he said:
 

Sipho: "With an amount that Mjekejeke won I can renovate my mother's house back home in KZN and the rest, give it to my wife because she is a housewife. "

 

Sipho's family home in KZN.

All this talk of winnings got us wondering about whether or not the tax man comes for you when you win a lottery in South Africa and we're relieved to see the answer is no.

According to this article on tax consulting website Tax Tim, you aren't taxed on your winnings if it's a once-off type win like Mjekejeke's. 

If someone's a regular gambler though e.g. a person who makes all their money from casinos or betting then SARS regards it as a profit making enterprise and you're taxed on it. 

You'll find interesting info on the taxation - or not - of winnings, loyalty programs and gifts in the article. The biggest jaw dropper is that if you give your winnings to someone else, you need to pay a donation tax if you give them more than R100,000 in a year. 

The article was written in March 2019 and a Google search indicates that nothing has changed since then.

Meaning Mjekejeke has the full R350,000 in the palm of his hand.

If it was in your hands, how would you spend it?
