Shauwn Mkhize Faces Growing Challenges
Shauwn Mkhize, known to many as MaMkhize, has been no stranger to controversy, and the latest developments in her life seem to be keeping her firmly in the headlines.
The businesswoman, who owns Royal AM, has been dealing with some serious financial issues involving the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
Tax Troubles Impact Royal AM
MaMkhize is facing a hefty debt to SARS, amounting to over R40 million.
Unfortunately, this debt has begun to affect her soccer club, Royal AM (also known as Thwihli Thwahla), which has now fallen under curatorship.
This marks a significant setback for the businesswoman and her ventures.
The Club’s Future in Jeopardy
Just last week, rumors started swirling online that Royal AM would be sold after SARS successfully won a case against MaMkhize.
Despite her best efforts to hold onto the club, it seems the legal battle has led to this unfortunate turn of events.
Potential buyers are already in talks to take over the club, and some reports suggest that the Premier Soccer League (PSL) has been advised to hold off on suspending the team until the sale is finalized.
Royal AM Loses Key Sponsorship
As if things weren’t bad enough, Royal AM has also lost its sponsorship deal with the Msunduzi Municipality.
Fans were quick to notice when photos surfaced showing municipal workers removing the team’s branding from the Harry Gwala Stadium.
This sponsorship, which was worth R27 million, was a major deal for MaMkhize and had been set to run through June 2026.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has since taken legal action, arguing that the municipality should not be funding the club due to Royal AM’s failure to meet the country’s tax obligations.
They are calling for the sponsorship contract to be declared unlawful and voided.
Fans Expecting the Worst
With a court date set for February 28, the situation remains uncertain, but many fans are already convinced that the sponsorship deal has been scrapped.
As for Royal AM and the municipality, neither side has yet to publicly address these claims.
Is This the End of MaMkhize’s Reign?
It seems like MaMkhize’s troubles are far from over.
Could this be the beginning of the end for Royal AM and her other business ventures? Time will tell, but for now, fans and onlookers are watching closely to see how this all unfolds.
