Mama Joy Expresses Heartbreak Over the Sale of Royal AM After SARS Forces MaMkhize to Surrender the Club in South Africa

Mama Joy, whose real name is Joy Chauke, is a well-known figure in South African football as a passionate fan and ambassador of Royal AM.

Recently, she shared her deep sadness after hearing that the club she’s so fond of will be sold due to financial troubles with the tax authorities.

The news broke on Monday evening that SARS (South African Revenue Service) is taking the drastic step of selling the club because of MaMkhize’s outstanding tax debt.

This has left many, including Mama Joy, devastated.

Mama Joy Speaks Out

Taking to social media, Mama Joy shared her emotions about the heartbreaking news.

She posted a picture of herself with two men and expressed her unwavering support for MaMkhize, the club’s owner.

In her message, Mama Joy shared a personal reflection, saying, “My children know where we come from, and they understand that this is just one of life’s many seasons.

I have no fear that they will ever leave me, as we are in this together.

Life moves on, but I will always have love and respect for U Ma. Thank you, Mamkhize Thwihli.”

Fans are now wondering what the future holds for Mama Joy.

She has been such a devoted supporter of Royal AM, and some are asking whether she will return to her previous allegiance with Orlando Pirates now that the club is being sold.

The Reason Behind the Sale of Royal AM

So, why is Royal AM being sold? It all comes down to MaMkhize’s unpaid tax debt of over R40 million, which is tied to her companies in the Zikhulise Group.

A couple of years ago, reports revealed that she owed R12.7 million in taxes.

However, the debt ballooned to over R37 million after the club was ordered to cover Samir Nurkovic’s full contract.

From there, the debt continued to rise, eventually surpassing R40 million.

Sports personality Andile Ncube expressed his sadness on social media, saying, “A sad day for our football.

After months of speculation, it’s done. SARS has won, and Royal AM will be sold.” However, despite all the rumors, there has been no official statement to confirm the sale.

What’s Next for Mama Joy?

Now that Royal AM is being sold, fans are eager to know what Mama Joy’s next move will be. Will she continue to support football in the same way, or will she find a new path? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
