Orlando Pirates join the race for Royal AM’s Victor Letsoalo

According to The South African, Mkhize told Metro FM that she takes the former Bloemfontein Celtic hitman as her son and the player remains contracted with them. She is quoted:

“In as far as I know, nothing has come through and he has a contract with us. He’s one of my kids, and I take pride when he does well.”

Apart from the Buccaneers, it is reported that Amakhosi are also keen on landing the 28-year-old’s signature as they hope to beef up their attacking options.

KickOff interviewed legend Jerry Sikhosana and the former Bafana Bafana striker didn’t mince his words and advised the current footballer. He said:

"Victor Letsoalo, yes, I can see what he's doing at Royal AM presently, and also with the national team, he's doing well. I think he might do well, but you know sometimes football is cruel as you can predict a good player going to a big club, only to find that player fumbles or disappoints. Let's hope it won't be the same with Victor Letsoalo.”

DA tells Shauwn Mkhize to sell luxury vehicles to fund her club Royal AM

Looking at a similar post regarding Royal AM, Briefly News posted that the Democratic Alliance (DA) has expressed its displeasure with the eThekwini Municipality's decision to sponsor multimillionaire Shauwn Mkhize's soccer team, Royal AM FC.

The party said it was not okay to spend taxpayers' money on wealthy Mkhize, who recently purchased an R16 million Rolls-Royce, during a virtual meeting of the municipality's Executive Committee on Tuesday.

The DA suggested she sell one of her expensive cars to raise money for her own team according to a report by IOL.

Exco had been asked by the city to authorize a sponsorship and collaboration with Royal AM FC worth R15.7 million over the next three years, or around R5.25 million each year.
