More troubles for Shauwn Mkhize (MaMkhize)! Troubles continue to mount for businesswoman and reality TV star Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, as her football team, Royal AM FC, faces an uncertain future following the Premier Soccer League’s (PSL) suspension of their fixtures.

The suspension stems from Royal AM’s financial woes, as the club is currently under SARS curatorship, with its funds frozen. This has led to unpaid salaries since December 2024 and operational difficulties that have disrupted the team’s schedule.
Financial Struggles and Legal Challenges

 

 

 
The team’s challenges began after a court ruling granted a preservation order and search seizure warrant in a case involving the SARS commissioner, Mam’Mkhize, and others. The legal action resulted in the freezing of Royal AM’s accounts, leaving the club unable to fulfill its financial commitments.Royal AM has since failed to pay its players and staff, a situation that escalated into missed fixtures. Their last PSL match was played on 29 December 2024, where they suffered a 3-1 defeat against TS Galaxy. They are currently in the relegation zone, with their future in the league looking bleak.The financial instability also caused Royal AM to forfeit their scheduled match against Chippa United FC on 11 January 2025, citing complications from the appointment of the curator.
