Shauwn Mkhize apologises for not paying Royal AM salaries
Shauwn Mkhize has apologised to Royal AM Football Club players for failing to pay them in December.
Shauwn Mkhize has released a public statement addressing Royal AM Football Club's financial woes.
The club failed to pay its player's and personnel's salaries for December.
Mkhize says this is due to the club's challenges with the South African Revenue Services (SARS).
“Royal AM Football Club wishes to address the unfortunate situation regarding the non-payment of salaries for December 2024, affecting our valued players, technical team, and staff. We acknowledge the hardship this has caused and extend our heartfelt apologies to those impacted, including their families.
“As many are aware, the club is currently under curatorship following a preservation order obtained by SARS."
Mkhize says the club has appointed a temporary curator to assist.
"While this has resulted in the temporary appointment of a curator, Mr Jaco Venter, to oversee the club’s assets and operations, we want to assure all stakeholders that Royal AM remains committed to resolving this matter as swiftly as possible."

The Durban-based businesswoman and TV personality has assured those involved that the management is working hard to solve the matter.
"The club's management team, led by our CEO and General Manager, has been working diligently with the curator to secure the necessary permissions to release funds for salary payments. It has always been the ethos of Royal AM to prioritise the well-being of our personnel, and we remain dedicated to upholding that principle despite the current challenges," read the statement posted on Instagram.
"We appreciate the patience and support of our players, staff, and their families during this difficult time. Additionally, we thank our fans, sponsors, and broader stakeholders for their continued trust and loyalty. Royal AM is committed to preserving the integrity of the club and ensuring its long-term success. We remain optimistic that this situation will be resolved soon, and we will provide timely updates as developments unfold."
