Shauwn "MaMkhize" has built a name for herself in spite of the drama. While a lot of credit has been given to ex-hubby, Sbu Mpisane for her success, it's clear this queen has sacrificed a lot to become Mzansi's favourite self-made businesswoman.

MaMkhize and Mpisane were married in 1991 but news of their divorce surfaced in 2018, The South African reports. Mpisane had worked as a humble police officer before resigning and joining MaMkhize's thriving construction business. She would eventually purchase The Royal Eagles FC for her husband.

Opening up on Instagram, her son, Andile Mpisane alleges MaMkhize bought the club for his father in an effort to "elevate her husband" because she could not "bear emasculating him."
After the divorce, things got bitter when MaMkhize tried to regain control of the football club she had purchased. Her fierce attempts were not only for herself but for her son, Andile who she hoped would one day run the club.
But Sbu would not give up ownership.
Expressing his heartache at the difficult situation, Andile had this to add:

"Yesterday, I bid farewell to the legacy uMa had set up for me... He's not my father because a father would not go 2 years without speaking to his son. A father would not intentionally LIE & STEAL what was built for his son."
However, this story has a happy ending because just three years later Andile was named chairperson of the Royal AM soccer club. In 2021 MaMkhize bought the company in true #bossmama fashion and kept putting her kids first.

However, things got sticky in the relationship when Mpisane started questioning the paternity of their second child, 'Baby Flow', The South African reports.
Social media trolls got wind of the story and made some seriously malicious allegations, saying MaMhkize had put the mother of her grandchildren out on the streets.
Heading online, the businesswoman made sure to clear the air:
“I personally have no grudges or any untoward feelings against the mother of my grandkids. She’s given me two beautiful grandchildren which binds us forever and I will always consider her to be like a daughter to me," she wrote.
The businesswoman further slammed rumours that Shozi had been kicked out of her apartment and her children taken away from her.
She also denied any part in organising the marriage, TimesLive reports.
“As a mother it is my job to guide and support my son's decisions. And I would like it to [be] known that I will never choose for him. I’ve lived my life and learnt my lessons! I will never take away the opportunity for him to live his own life and learn his lessons along the way," MaMkhize added.
