Msunduzi ratepayers demand investigation after council scraps Royal AM sponsorship deal
The Mercury
|July 07, 2025
RATEPAYERS in Msunduzi are urging the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) to expand its investigation into the municipality's decision to sponsor the Royal AM Football Club.
The Msunduzi Association of Ratepayers Residents and Civics (MARRC) said the decision taken by the Msunduzi Municipality to sponsor Royal AM was irresponsible and a waste of taxpayer resources.
Cogta recently announced a section 106 investigation into the municipality.
The multi-million rand sponsorship, which started in July 2023 at a cost of R9 million per annum for the municipality, was terminated by the Msunduzi council recently. Royal AM was expelled from the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in April after the club was placed under the control of a curator appointed by Sars.
In a statement, the Msunduzi Full Council announced the termination of the Royal AM sponsorship in accordance with a contractual clause as the club was no longer in the PSL.
