Inside MaMkhize’s Luxury Car Auction: SARS Targets Royal AM Over R37 Million Debt

June 19, 2025| By: Celebrity News, Lifestyle, Fashion | South Africa

Shauwn Mkhize, affectionately known as “MaMkhize,” has long been a captivating figure in South Africa’s celebrity landscape. Her life, often showcased on social media and her reality TV show, has epitomized an extravagant blend of business acumen, philanthropy, and a lavish lifestyle. From designer wardrobes to a fleet of high-performance vehicles, MaMkhize’s brand has been synonymous with unbridled luxury. However, beneath the dazzling surface, a storm has been brewing. It now threatens to dismantle her empire. The issue is a formidable tax dispute with the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

The latest development has sent ripples across the nation: a collection of MaMkhize’s prized luxury cars, including a Bentley Continental GTC and two Mercedes-Benz Maybachs, are set to go under the hammer. This isn’t just a high-profile sale; it’s SARS’s decisive move to recover an estimated R37 million in unpaid taxes. The auction, scheduled from June 27th to July 2nd, 2025, on the ‘Bidders Choice’ platform, marks a significant escalation in a long-standing battle between the taxman and the flamboyant businesswoman.

SARS has officially seized 13 luxury vehicles. They have also seized a branded Mercedes-Benz bus. These items are linked to Royal AM Football Club, of which MaMkhize is the owner. The assets are being auctioned off through a public process from June 27 to July 2, 2025.

Interested buyers must register with a R50,000 refundable deposit. The auction will take place in both Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, with viewing sessions scheduled at secure SARS facilities.

Vehicles on the Block Include:

  • 🥇 2022 Mercedes-Benz S680 Maybach Edition 100
    A rare global release, with only 100 units made. Estimated value: R5.6 million.
  • 🏁 2020 Bentley Continental GTC
    Synonymous with celebrity excess, worth around R4 million.
  • 🚙 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen ONYX Edition
    Custom styling, armored-like finish, value approx. R2.2 million.
  • 2022 BMW i7 xDrive60
    One of BMW’s newest electric flagships.
  • 🚌 Royal AM-branded Mercedes-Benz Maybach V-Class Bus
    Once used to transport players in style, now up for bidding.

Other vehicles include: BMW 640i GT, BMW 750i, BMW X1, Toyota Hilux Double Cab, Nissan NP300, Volkswagen Crafter, and more.

In 2021, MaMkhize purchased Bloemfontein Celtic and transformed it into Royal AM—an elite Premier Soccer League (PSL) team dripping in celebrity flair. From helicopter landings to luxury locker rooms, Royal AM wasn’t just a club—it was a lifestyle brand.

But beneath the glitz, SARS claims Royal AM failed to meet its tax obligations, sparking this legal and financial standoff.

A previous attempt to sell the club to Global Operations backfired when the buyer defaulted. SARS is now overseeing Royal AM’s finances. All eyes are on what assets come next if the R37 million is not fully recovered via the vehicle auction.

📱 Social Media Reacts: MaMkhize Trends Again

The news has triggered viral reactions across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter). Here’s how South Africans are reacting:

“14 luxury cars… all to cover R37M! SARS doesn’t play!” — (X)

“I knew MaMkhize had money, but seeing all those Maybachs and Bentleys listed made my jaw drop.” — (TikTok)

“MaMkhize built a football club off pure vibes and cars… now SARS is building a repo empire 😂” — (Instagram)

“From a reality star to a tax headline… that’s SA royalty for you.” — @CapeChronicle

Her name is once again trending across platforms, with hashtags like #MaMkhize, #RoyalAM, and #SARS flooding the comment sections.

MaMkhize herself has been largely silent on the unfolding events, save for a cryptic Instagram post in April 2025 where she reflected on “betrayals and healing” and learning “who deserves a seat at my table and who will never sit again.” This introspective message further fueled public discussion, with many wondering about the deeper implications of her words.

  • Auction Dates: June 27 – July 2, 2025
  • Hosted By: SARS-appointed curator, Jaco Venter
  • Location: Johannesburg & KwaZulu-Natal

SARS Auction: Black Coffee Competes to Own Royal AM Football Club in High-Stakes R40 Million Bid

By Sports & Entertainment Desk | March 19, 2025

In a dramatic turn of events, South African music icon and entrepreneur Black Coffee has joined forces with five other bidders to secure ownership of the Royal AM Football Club, which was recently auctioned by the South African Revenue Service (SARS). The football club was put on the block in an effort to recover a staggering R40 million in unpaid taxes.

The auction, which attracted significant media attention, marks an important intersection of the entertainment and sports industries. Royal AM, a prominent football club in the South African Premier Division, found itself in a dire financial situation, facing a massive tax debt that forced SARS to take drastic action. In response, several high-profile figures, including Black Coffee, threw their hats in the ring.

Black Coffee, whose real name is Nkosinathi Maphumulo, is no stranger to making bold business moves. The Grammy-winning DJ and producer, known for his passion for building businesses and investing in various industries, was reportedly one of the key bidders vying for the club’s future.

The auction was initiated after Royal AM Football Club allegedly failed to meet its tax obligations, resulting in the R40 million debt that led to SARS intervening. With unpaid taxes mounting, SARS had no choice but to put the club on auction to recover the outstanding debt. This dramatic move has sparked widespread discussions about financial mismanagement, tax compliance, and the intersection of sport and politics in South Africa.

For Royal AM, the sale marks a pivotal moment in its history. The club, founded by Shauwn Mkhize—a prominent South African businesswoman—has long been a staple in the South African football scene. However, the ongoing financial troubles have left many questioning the future of the team and its leadership.

While the exact outcome of the auction remains uncertain, Black Coffee’s involvement adds a layer of intrigue and excitement, as his entrepreneurial endeavors and influence in the entertainment world could bring a fresh approach to running the club.

The auction and the involvement of Black Coffee have taken social media by storm, with fans and critics alike sharing their thoughts on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Instagram: “If Black Coffee wins the bid for Royal AM, he could change the face of South African football. The culture of sport needs more visionaries like him. #BlackCoffee #RoyalAM

TikTok: A_SportsFans: “Big moves in the South African sports world! Black Coffee bidding for Royal AM? Let’s see what this could mean for the future of football. 💥⚽️”

Twitter:”The future of Royal AM could be brighter with Black Coffee leading the way. A new era for football is coming. #SARS #BlackCoffee

The Royal AM auction is a stark reminder of the challenges that even high-profile businesses and sports teams face when it comes to tax obligations. As SARS continues to enforce compliance, it raises important questions about the role of financial management in the entertainment and sports industries.

For Black Coffee, this is not just an opportunity to own a sports club but also to continue his legacy of business innovation in South Africa. His involvement in the auction is already being seen as a step toward diversifying the country’s sporting landscape, especially as South Africa’s top-tier football clubs are increasingly attracting foreign investment and global attention.
