Is Gary van der Merwe an alias for Mark Lifman? (from the photos they look like different people). If not, what are you going on about?

Sorry, brain fart, confused the two stories (posted on the same day...)

Cape Town mansion sold to settle tax bill over 'gift'

was the home of statesmen and nation-builders, but it will be remembered for a R140m spat involving a swimwear model and her businessman father.

This week the "battle for Zonnekus" ended in an auction after the 10-year spat had gone as far as the Constitutional Court.

The mansion, commissioned in 1929, once attracted values of up to R100m. On Thursday it attracted a highest bid of only R15.5m.

The auction marks the end of an era for businessman Gary van der Merwe and his model daughter, Candice, who were central to the tug-of-war over the property.

They and their legal representatives made hundreds of court appearances in a fight with the South African Revenue Service (Sars) over a $15.5m (about R140m in 2012) payment to Candice - allegedly a gift from her "admirer", former Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri.

The payment was flagged as suspicious by the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).

This promoted a Sars investigation and a subsequent tax bill, which the Van der Merwes challenged.

The Van der Merwes began several court applications against the liquidators of Gary van der Merwe's assets, which are held by Zonnekus Mansion (Pty) Ltd.

On February 5, the Constitutional Court dismissed Van der Merwe's attempt to challenge a high court order evicting him from Zonnekus, the Milnerton, Cape Town, beach home he had occupied for almost 20 years.

I'd almost forgotten about this. After the whole Epstein case - the idea of a island resort where wealthy businessmen can mingle with hand-picked models and give them cash 'gifts' - makes me worry what else is out there.

Yeah, they should file prostitution charges as well.

oh I dunno, I support any good looking prostitute in her freedom to sell her body, plus the whoring was done outside of ZA so not sure our courts even have a say ... I vote leave her be

BUT call a (well-worn) spade, a spade
