Royal AM Boss Shauwn 'MaMkhize' Mkhize Shows Off 'Silky' Football Skills

• If there ever was an 'involved' football club owner, she would be Shauwn Mkhize
• Mkhize was seen on Instagram joining Royal AM players preparing for a match
• This is not the first time MaMkhize was seen training with the Thwihli Thwahla

South Africa's most flamboyant football owner was at it again.

The popular and headline-grabbing owner of Royal AM, Shauwn Mkhize showed off her footballing skills during a practice as the team prepared for a match in Cape Town.

Her Instagram story showed her enjoying a kick-about at a practice session in the Mother City, as Thwihli Thwahla prepared to take on Cape Town City. The Cityzens would eventually run out 2-1 victors over their KwaZulu-Natal guests.

This is not the first time MaMkhize posted to social media about her and the team enjoying themselves during training. She ran a few laps with the squad days before a thrilling 2-2 draw with Orlando Pirates, at the end of last season.

Maduka reportedly wants Royal return

John Maduka might be returning to Royal AM. The keyword is 'might', because the sources are questionable and the club's owner, Mkhize was rather blunt in response.

The Malawian inexplicably departed Thwihli Thwahla for KwaZulu-Natal rivals, Maritzburg United after an outstanding first season in the DStv Premiership.

Maduka guided them to a third-place finish, guaranteeing them an MTN8 place as well as qualification for the CAF Confederations Cup.

MaMkhize hurt by fan trolling

Someone once famously said that football will 'kill you a real death', and Mkhize continues to learn that the hard way as the owner of Royal AM.

After the highs of defeating KwaZulu-Natal rivals, AmaZulu 2-0 the weekend before in a derby, another KZN rival Maritzburg United brought Thwihli Thwahla back down to earth with a 3-1 crash the following Sunday.

During this loss to United, rival supporters at the Chatsworth Stadium made it a point to sing rude songs aimed at MaMkhize. She then went on to social media to express her hurt at being abused by these fans.
