‘Keep shining': MaMkhize flaunts mink coat, ‘girls treat' and Versace spa day [VIDEOS]

Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize is no stranger to the limelight. For most of this year, the businesswoman and reality TV star has, however, maintained a low profile on the social scene due to financial woes.
Her ongoing dispute with the South African Revenue Service (Sars) has already resulted in the loss of her PSL club, Royal AM, and the seizure of her renowned luxury car collection, which will go under the hammer this week.
The controversial socialite reportedly owes the taxman a staggering R37.9 million.
MaMkhize mingles in mink…
A defiant MaMakhize has seemingly brushed off her troubles, rising from the ashes of her business empire in a flash of fur and sharing glimpses of a luxurious 'girls treat' getaway.
True to her signature flair for opulence, the KwaZulu-Natal tycoon was recently spotted donning a flamboyant mink fur coat and Gucci cap at the Basketball Africa League event at Pretoria's SunBet Arena.
Joining her in the courtside seats at the Al Ahli Tripoli vs Petro de Luanda final, were music sensation Zee Nxumalo and former Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida.

'Girls treat': MaMkhize shares roaring time with friends
MaMkhize also flaunted her most recent 'soft life' spoils at the Shekinah Lion and Game Lodge on her Instagram account.
She labelled her post about her getaway with actress Tarina Patel and Zimbabwean businesswoman and philanthropist Zodwa Mkandla, 'Girls treat❤️❤️❤️❤️'
The Vaalwater lodge boasts exclusive predator suites that provide visitors with the opportunity to get up close and personal with its roaming lions and other wild cats.
A stay with the dangerous predators costs R12,500 per couple per night for Monday to Thursday, and R15,000 per couple per night for Friday to Sunday, according to their Instagram account.
MaMkhize captioned a video clip of her stay in the Pfamoni Sahara Suite:
'There's a lion in every woman who refuses to give up. We rise together✨ Keep shining, your win is unfolding.'
Spa day in Versace
MaMkhize and her girlfriends also treated themselves to a luxury spa treat in the comfort of her home this week.
Sharing moments from the girls' home spa day, all three ladies can be seen dressed in Versace gowns, which retail from R10 900 up to R24 200, according to the Versace website.
The Sars crackdown: MaMkhize's luxury fleet on auction
MaMkhize's financial woes escalated in 2023 when Sars issued a R37.9 million tax bill, followed by a preservation order on her assets, including Royal AM Football Club.
By November 2024, Sars and the South African Police Service (SAPS) raided her La Lucia mansion in Durban, seizing luxury vehicles, over 40 firearms, as well as other assets.
The tax debt stems from unpaid taxes linked to Royal AM, which MaMkhize purchased in 2021 and transformed into a Premier Soccer League powerhouse.
Auction details
Last week, Sars announced the auction of 13 luxury vehicles and a Royal AM-branded Mercedes-Benz Maybach V-Class bus to recoup the debt.
The auction, scheduled from 27 June to 2 July, is managed by Bidders Choice and requires a R50 000 refundable registration fee.
The collection includes rare gems like:
2022 Mercedes-Benz S680 Maybach Edition 100: One of only 100 units produced globally, valued at approximately R5.6 million.
2020 Bentley Continental GTC: A symbol of celebrity excess, worth around R4 million.
2022 BMW i7 xDrive60: BMW's cutting-edge electric flagship.
Royal AM's downfall
MaMkhize's acquisition of Bloemfontein Celtic in 2021, rebranded as Royal AM, was marked by extravagance — think helicopter landings and luxury locker rooms.
However, the club's failure to meet tax obligations led to curatorship and its eventual auction.
The PSL's decision to expel Royal AM in April 2025 marked the end of a turbulent chapter, leaving players as free agents and stakeholders questioning MaMkhize's business acumen.
History of controversy: MaMkhize, Sbu Mpisane and son
This isn't MaMkhize's first brush with financial troubles.
Her 2016 divorce from Sbu Mpisane was accompanied by a Sars seizure of vehicles, including a Porsche and a Rolls-Royce Ghost.
Her reality show, Kwa Ma'Mkhize, and her book, My World, My Rules, have kept her in the public eye, but controversies around unpaid salaries and allegations of favouritism toward her son, Andile Mpisane, have drawn criticism over the years.

'I brought it in, and now the little ones have this tournament every year. 'We invite new schools every year, and this year's event went quite well. All the boys, and all the girls, are playing each other once, so we had four games per school. It's a development for the kids.' The youngsters were monitored by umpires and coaches, ensuring they were safe at all times during the 10-minute games, featuring one exciting half. Stadtlander added that she is excited that they have finally opened the new court. 'We've been talking about this for about two to three years.

Blue Birds secure victory against Jomo Cosmos in regional league
Blue Birds Ladies Development Football Club continued their impressive run in the Johannesburg Football Association Women's Regional League, securing a 1–0 victory over Jomo Cosmos Football Club at the Alex Safe Hub on Saturday. Read more: Blue Birds draw again in their battle to the top eight The Blue Birds asserted their dominance early, with their player, Mpho Ngobeni, breaking the deadlock in the first half, capitalising on a well-worked opportunity to give the Blue Birds the lead. Despite pressure from Jomo Cosmos in the second half, the Blue Birds held firm, denying their opponents the opportunity to score. Coach Malvin Khumalo praised his team's performance and consistency, referencing their previous 1–0 win over Panorama Ladies on August 9. 'Today, we kept a clean sheet, getting a 1–0 win. It shows consistency, in terms of what we are trying to achieve.' He acknowledged missed opportunities in front of the goalpost but remained optimistic about the team's growth. 'We are still at the development stage with this team. They will get it right.' Khumalo highlighted the need for composure in the final third, emphasising that the team must learn to convert chances. However, he lauded his defensive structure, which has been a cornerstone of their campaign. 'Defensively, we have been solid the entire season. We haven't conceded a lot of goals.' He said that players deployed in defensive midfield roles were naturally defenders. 'One is a left back, so the idea to defend is there.' On the other side, Jomo Cosmos coach Bricks Nxokoane reflected on a performance riddled with errors. 'I think we gave them a soft goal. Secondly, we don't have that fighting spirit. In the second half, we tried to create chances but couldn't convert. In the midfield, we were losing balls like nobody's business.' As the league progresses, Khumalo said the Blue Birds will need to work on their composure, to help players covert chances into goals, while Jomo Cosmos will look to regroup and address their midfield vulnerabilities.
