Royal AM’s stint in the PSL has ended
After months of speculation surrounding Royal AM’s fate, the PSL decided that the club would be excluded from the top flight after their financial issues this season.
The Joburg-based club was suspended from action in December after reports emerged of Mkhize’s R40 million SARS debt.
While the club faced their suspension, SARS put the side up for sale, and after the deal fell through, the PSL expelled the club and wiped off all their results for the 2024/2025 season.
