Earlier this week, Chippa United announced to the media that their Betway Premiership match against Royal AM had been postponed.
MAMKHIZE FAILS TO PAY ROYAL AM PLAYERS AGAIN
At the time of the announcement, the Chilli Boys revealed that the PSL had provided no reason for the postponement.
The Chippa United and Royal AM match was scheduled for 11 January at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
However, against the postponement, SABC Sport reports that Royal AM players haven’t turned up for training because of unpaid salaries.
The publication has since established that Royal AM players refused to return to training and are demanding payment of their outstanding December salaries.
The SABC Sport reports that players approached the Premier Soccer League to reschedule their match as their salary woes are yet to be addressed.
MaMkhize has yet to address the reports that have since thrust her into the top trends. After all, this is not the first time the celebrated multimillionaire has made such headlines.
MAKING HEADLINES
In 2023, MaMkhize was forced to address claims that she had not paid her players their salaries in three months.
She made it known that the reports were false. At the time, MaMkhize made it known that she paid all her employees, including players, within the stipulated time frame.
“As a responsible citizen, I ensure that all my employees, including my players, are paid their due compensations within the stipulated time frame,” she said.
SARS WOES
However, unconfirmed reports suggest the South African Revenue Service is considering liquidating Royal AM to recoup R40 million in unpaid taxes owed by MaMkhize.
In 2023, MaMkhize had a debt of R12.7 million. However, it ballooned to over R37 million after Royal AM was ordered to pay Samir Nurkovic’s contract in full.
Against the judgement, the High Court of South Africa ordered MaMkhize to cough up her debts to SARS.
However, the High Court also directed the court sheriff “to attach and remove the movable property of the Royal AM.”
Last year, the SARS closed down on MaMkhize as they raided her R20 million mansion in Durban against the court order.
COULD THIS BE THE FALL OF MAMKHIZE?
