Shauwn Mkhize (MaMkhize) speaks out amid uncertainty over Royal AM’s future! The future of Royal AM football club remains uncertain, with reports of financial troubles surrounding the team. However, club owner and businesswoman Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize has finally broken her silence after weeks of speculation.
Royal AM’s Financial Woes
Earlier this month, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) curator issued a public notice announcing that Royal AM would be auctioned off. The decision comes as an attempt to recover a reported R40 million tax debt owed by MaMkhize.
The news of the auction sent shockwaves through the local football community, with many wondering whether this meant the end of the club. Fans have been eagerly awaiting an official response from MaMkhize regarding the financial troubles, but until now, she has remained largely silent.

Silence Since January
MaMkhize last addressed the club’s financial troubles on January 8, when she released a statement regarding the nonpayment of players. Reports surfaced that Royal AM players had not received their salaries, raising further concerns about the club’s financial stability.
Following that statement, MaMkhize went silent on social media, leaving many to speculate about the future of the team and whether she would fight to save it.
Breaking Her Silence
On Monday, MaMkhize finally spoke out, taking to her Instagram stories to share a cryptic but emotional message. Though she did not directly address the auction or the reported tax debt, her words suggested she had gone through a painful experience and had learned valuable lessons.
“My side of the story doesn’t matter any more. Life happened. It hurt, I healed. But most importantly, I learnt who deserves a seat at my table and who will never sit again,” she wrote.
Her statement suggests that she has been deeply affected by recent events but is choosing to move forward and focus on those who truly support her.
What’s Next for Royal AM?
While MaMkhize’s Instagram post gave insight into her personal feelings, it did not provide any clarity on the future of Royal AM. The club’s fate remains uncertain, with the looming auction raising questions about whether Royal AM will continue to exist under its current ownership.
If the auction proceeds, it could mean new ownership for the club or even its complete dissolution. Fans and players alike are left in limbo, waiting for further announcements regarding the team’s future.
A History of Challenges
This is not the first time Royal AM has faced controversy. Since MaMkhize purchased the club and transformed it into one of South Africa’s most talked-about football teams, it has been surrounded by drama. From legal battles with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to ongoing financial disputes, the club has had a rocky journey.
Despite these challenges, MaMkhize has always presented herself as a resilient figure who is willing to fight for her team. Whether she will be able to resolve the current financial crisis remains to be seen.
Public Reaction and Support
Many of MaMkhize’s supporters have taken to social media to express their concern and encouragement. While some have criticized her financial management of the club, others have defended her, stating that she has done a lot to promote South African football and provide opportunities for players.
With speculation mounting and no clear resolution in sight, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining the fate of Royal AM. Whether MaMkhize has a plan to save the club or if it will go under the hammer remains to be seen.
For now, fans and football lovers will be watching closely, hoping for clarity and a positive outcome.
