Mama Joy under fire for defending MaMkhize after her houses were raided! Mama Joy has courted controversy by weighing into another high-profile scandal – Shauwn Mkhize or MaMkhize’s criminal woes.

The sports fan – a known Royal AM supporter – has asked the public to show empathy to the businesswoman who owns the PSL club.

 

 

 

MaMkhize – the CEO of the Zikhulise Group – has made headlines after her Durban home was raided by police and South African Revenue Services (SARS) officials. She has been previously charged with alleged criminal activity, including fraud, forgery, bribery, and tax evasion.

According to Sunday World, MaMkhize’s La Lucia home – which she shared with ex-husband Sbu Mpisane – was raised by officials last weekend.

The publication claims that during the raid, police found dozens of high-calibre rifles and ammunition.

Police raided the businesswoman’s other properties, including one in Sandhurst, Johannesburg, a farm, and a four-storey mansion in Pietermaritzburg.

On the X app, South Africans were unsurprised by the discoveries, given that MaMkhize’s name trended in July after the alleged assassination attempt of a SARS advocate who was investigating her.

However, sports supporter Mama Joy – who is a Royal AM ambassador – seemingly defended the reality TV star.

When one X user called on authorities to “seize and freeze all her assets, restrict her ability to trade, so she can be poor like the rest of us,” Mama Joy responded, “Let’s pray for her.”
