The auction follows a dramatic period for Mkhize and her former club. In September, SARS officers arrived at Royal AM’s training base, Royal Ranch, located along the R56 between Pietermaritzburg and Maqongqo.

Nearly ten trucks were involved in removing furniture and movable property, including luxury vehicles, construction machinery, and shipping containers, as part of an action related to her R40 million tax debt. The debt had earlier led to the liquidation of Royal AM and the club’s expulsion from the PSL.
