WATCH: Iqbal Sharma, Tarina Patel do the Tango

Couple Iqbal Sharma and Tarina Patel may have to use their swift feet, as demonstrated in the video below, to dance their way out of the Estina dairy project mess.

Last Friday, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) seized more than R47 million’s worth of Gupta-linked assets. Sharma is reportedly a key associate of the Gupta family. He and wife Patel’s Sandton mansion was among the seized assets and is estimated to be valued at R12 million.

Investigator Thesele Rankuoatsana appears to have helped the authorities track down at least R500 000 worth of moveable assets.

Some of the items included, furniture and jewellery as the investigator described the house as a “contemporary Mughal palace in the heart of Sandton”.

Sharma and co-accused Peter Thabethe appeared in the court on Thursday following their arrests in connection with the failed R288 million Estina dairy project in Vrede, Free State.

The couple may need to use their own dance routine, to get out of any further trouble. Patel recently posted the Tango dance they did during her birthday party.
