According to social media posts circulating online Mihlali, took to her close friends’ Instagram Story, the influencer vented her frustration about dealing with SARS, writing:

“Yoh, dealing with a SARS consultant is honestly the worst nightmare ever. You explain one thing ten times and still get nowhere. Can y’all refer me to a tax specialist 😊.”

But the real shocker came just at the bottom of her story, where she dropped the bombshell:

“Now that I’m halfway in paying my taxes, I want to downgrade my lifestyle and probably my car too 🥺.”

Whew! Not Mihlali talking downsizing — after blessing timelines with two brand-new Hermès Birkins just months ago!

Of course, the internet had no chill once the story made rounds. Social media users quickly jumped into the chat with mixed reactions:

@LeboThePlug joked: “Not the soft life turning into SARS life 😭.”

@PreshieM: “Imagine selling a Birkin to pay tax. Yoh.”

@MveloXO: “She said downgrade… not disappear. Y’all will still see the drip, just less turbo!”

@KamoL_: “At least she’s honest about it. Some people would be in Dubai right now posting quotes.”

Mihlali Ndamase Still Looks Unbothered (Mostly)

While Mihlali didn’t confirm whether she’s already let go of any luxuries, her post proves she’s taking the SARS situation seriously — and with a bit of humour too.

We’re just wondering if this is a short-term tax cleanse or a full-on “rebrand to responsible rich auntie” moment. But what we do know is, the taxman humbled yet another influencer.

Well, You can downgrade your car, but you can’t downgrade your tax bracket, babes.
