Sello Maake KaNcube, the celebrated South African actor, recently found himself in a financial quagmire. Imagine waking up one day to find out your car is about to be auctioned off due to unpaid school fees.
Sounds like a plot twist from one of Mzansi’s telenovelas, right? But this was real life for Maake KaNcube, who had to part with thousands of rands to save his beloved Audi A4 from the auction block.

Here’s where it gets interesting: Maake KaNcube never signed any contract with the school. His former lover, Mmatshilo Motsei, had signed the admission papers as the legal guardian, and her sister signed as the guarantor.
Despite this, the school obtained a default judgment against him. The actor claims he didn’t even receive summons to oppose the execution order. Talk about being blindsided!
In a moment of panic, Maake KaNcube signed an acknowledgement of debt when the sheriff came knocking to impound his vehicle.
Subsequently, he made a payment of R20,000 to the college and sought legal advice. The iconic actor was advised that the college’s claim lacked a cause of action since he had no legally binding agreement with the school.
Maake KaNcube filed for the judgment’s rescission, which led to the suspension of the attachment. However, the car was still taken and was supposed to be auctioned on June 5.

He had to pay more than R30,000 to save his vehicle. In his court application, he pointed out that the judgment did not specify whether the agreement was verbal or written, further complicating matters.
The actor emphasized that the judgment and subsequent actions adversely affected not just him but also his wife, Pearl Mbewe, who shares ownership of the vehicle. The saga has left Maake KaNcube shocked and embarrassed, as he continues to await the date for the rescission of judgment.
