Unbothered Shauwn Mkhize (MaMkhize) spotted celebrating Royal AM’s draw against Kaizer Chiefs! Soweto football giants Kaizer Chiefs failed to secure third place in the Betway Premiership after surrendering a two-goal lead in a dramatic draw with Royal AM.

Despite their early dominance, Chiefs saw their hopes dashed as Royal AM clawed back to earn a vital point.

Chiefs Take Commanding Lead

Kaizer Chiefs made a blistering start, opening the scoring just five minutes into the game. Yusuf Maart orchestrated the attack, setting up Ashley Du Preez, who calmly slotted home the opener. The early goal gave Chiefs momentum, and they capitalized further when Wandile Duba doubled the lead with a clinical first-time finish, assisted by Solomons.

Unbothered Shauwn Mkhize

The Soweto side appeared to be cruising, showcasing aggressive play and fluidity in the first half. Their dominance suggested they would leave the match with three points firmly in their grasp.

Royal AM’s Resilient Fightback

Royal AM, however, had other plans. The visitors regrouped and came out fighting in the second half. Ayabulela Maxwele pulled one back in the 51st minute, injecting hope into his team.

The match became a nail-biter as Chiefs struggled to regain their first-half rhythm, while Royal AM continued to press. Their persistence paid off in the dying moments when Levy Mashaine scored a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute.

The draw was a disappointment for Kaizer Chiefs, but for Royal AM, the point was crucial in their battle to improve their league standing.

MaMkhize Steals the Spotlight

Amid the excitement of the game, Royal AM owner Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize made headlines for her spirited support of the team. Despite recent legal troubles involving the South African Revenue Service (SARS), MaMkhize attended the match with her usual exuberance.

Photos of MaMkhize cheering, singing, and dancing after her team’s equalizer quickly flooded social media. Many were struck by her seemingly unbothered demeanor despite the cloud of controversy surrounding her.

SARS Raid and Ongoing Tax Battle

MaMkhize’s public appearance came just days after SARS conducted a raid on her R20 million La Lucia mansion in Durban. The raid, carried out on November 26 with police assistance, aimed to secure assets amid allegations that MaMkhize owes approximately R37 million in unpaid taxes.

SARS confirmed the raid but did not comment on whether similar actions had been taken at her other properties. According to reports, the operation was part of SARS’ broader effort to combat tax evasion and criminal activities that undermine South Africa’s economy.

The tax agency previously faced challenges in seizing MaMkhize’s assets. Earlier this year, an attempted asset seizure led to a standoff between security companies at her properties in Durban and Sandton. Legal battles have continued since then, with SARS securing an execution order from the Pietermaritzburg High Court earlier this year.

Social Media Reactions

MaMkhize’s animated support for Royal AM, despite her legal challenges, sparked reactions across social media. Some users admired her resilience, while others questioned her carefree attitude given the gravity of her financial troubles.

Her unwavering commitment to her team was evident, and her celebratory dance after Royal AM’s equalizer showcased her passion for football.

Looking Ahead

Kaizer Chiefs must regroup after their missed opportunity to secure third place. The draw highlights the need for the team to maintain focus and intensity throughout matches, especially as the season progresses.

For Royal AM, the result was a testament to their determination. Levy Mashaine’s late equalizer could provide a morale boost as the team continues to fight for points in the league.

Meanwhile, MaMkhize’s legal battles remain unresolved. The outcome of SARS’ efforts to recover unpaid taxes could have significant implications for the businesswoman and her football club.

As the drama unfolds on and off the pitch, both Royal AM and Kaizer Chiefs will look to build on this thrilling encounter in the coming weeks.
