Enigmatic Royal AM owner Shauwn Mkhize: 'I'm too sexy for my shirt,' so what!

WHEN thinking of Shauwn Mkhize, one is tempted to think of that musical lyric proclaiming one’s allure: 'I'm too sexy for my shirt'.

The excessive cleverness and cunning of Mkhize, the larger-than-life, enigmatic owner of the beleaguered football club Royal AM, have tripped her up again. She has been overly clever, too cunning, and was caught out by her schemes to save her beloved club, Royal AM, named after her son Andile Mpisane.

The ruling announced on Tuesday by the Pretoria High Court may finally end Royal AM's efforts to regain its Premier Soccer League (PSL) status. The court dismissed her case with costs.

Last week, Judge Boitsheko Seleka reserved judgment and decided on a later date for the verdict. Around this time, there was speculation that Royal AM could win the case.

Being the owner of Royal AM, it has been a long and arduous journey for Mkhize. Even before she bought Bloemfontein Celtic's franchise, she was in trouble with the PSL.
