Actress Buhle Samuels facing fraud charges over Porsche SUV she once showcased as gift

Actress and former Muvhango star Buhle Samuels is reportedly facing fraud and forgery charges related to a luxury Porsche SUV she once showcased on social media as a birthday gift to herself.

Samuels, known for her opulent lifestyle, recently appeared in the Alexandra Magistrates’ Court, where she stands accused of falsifying company documents and forging signatures to acquire the high-end vehicle. The Porsche in question was posted in an Instagram post in August 2024, where the actress captioned the post “Early birthday present. From Me to Me,” implying it was a personal purchase.

Authorities have since seized the vehicle, which is now being held as evidence while investigations continue.

Samuels is expected to return to court on 16 May 2025.

In a comment to Maphephandaba, the actress confirmed that the matter is before the court and denied any wrongdoing. “The allegations are false,” she stated, adding, “The truth will reveal itself in due course.”
