Makhadzi was slapped with a R6,6million taxi bill earlier this year, but it was later reduced to R2 750 000 following the intervention of STT Group Holding.
However, instead of paying the consultants, the singer reportedly left them high and dry, leading to STT filing papers in the Joburg High Court last week to obtain judgment against Makhadzi for failing to remit payment after it helped her to reduce the debt, which had the potential to financially cripple her.
