Royal AM Insider Still Claims Unpaid Salaries as Shauwn Mkhize Seemingly Shops For New Club

• Former Royal AM boss Shauwn Mkhize has been seen in Eswatini, reportedly shopping for a new club, while staff members claim they are yet to be paid
• The Gauteng-based club was expelled from the PSL after Mkhize faced financial issues with SARS while staff members' and players’ salaries were not met
• Local netizens reacted on social media to question Mkhize’s financial situation while others backed the Mzansi businesswoman

While Shauwn Mkhize is reportedly in Eswatini shopping for a new club, a Royal AM insider reportedly said that not all of the staff have been paid following their PSL expulsion.

The Mzansi businesswoman faced issues with SARS over her tax debt which exceeded R40 million and their failure to pay the salaries of those involved with the former PSL club.

Following Royal AM’s PSL expulsion, the football governing body reversed all fixtures from the club while they were relegated following a match ban from December 2024.

Insider claims staff are still waiting to be paid

Mkhize was seen in Eswatini, according to the tweet below:

A former Royal AM staff member told Briefly News that staff and players are still waiting to be paid despite reports suggesting that all outstanding salaries have been met.

The source said:

“The whole issue has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because our families have been affected by not getting paid while Mkhize is out enjoying her life. A few of the guys have managed to bounce back, but there are a lot who are still struggling with all of this. They say players have been paid, but I am not so sure about that.”
