Shauwn Mkhize, the South African socialite and businesswoman, has found herself in yet another legal storm after authorities raided her Umhlanga mansion late last year. It seems like her troubles just keep piling up, with no end in sight. If you thought she was done dealing with legal hiccups, think again.

Shauwn Mkhize Deepens Her Legal Troubles with Samir Nurkovic

The drama surrounding Shauwn Mkhize just keeps escalating. The reality TV star and businesswoman is now embroiled in a legal battle with her former employee, Serbian soccer star Samir Nurkovic. Reports indicate that Mkhize allegedly owes Nurkovic over R15 million. This massive debt stems from the abrupt termination of Nurkovic's contract in 2022, the same year he was signed. Naturally, the footballer decided to escalate the matter to FIFA, hoping for justice.

Despite winning the case, Nurkovic is still waiting for his money. In a recent statement to the media, the footballer expressed frustration, saying, "Certain things in a professional football and professional career are beyond the control of the player. Some people deal with it, but this situation is just unfair." It's clear that Nurkovic feels betrayed and disrespected, and he’s not backing down anytime soon.

Shauwn Mkhize Misses SARS Deadline: Another Strike Against Her

You’d think all the public scrutiny and the looming presence of the tax man would be enough to keep Shauwn Mkhize on her toes, but apparently not. According to Briefly News, the reality TV star missed yet another deadline to submit necessary documents to SARS. This isn’t the first time she’s dropped the ball, either. It seems like missing deadlines has become a pattern, and it’s impossible to predict what kind of trouble she might have gotten herself into this time.

Interestingly, Mkhize's soccer club, Royal AM, also found itself in hot water for failing to meet financial obligations. The club was ordered to pay Samir Nurkovic, among others, but missed the deadline, raising eyebrows and sparking concerns about the club's financial stability. It’s clear that both Mkhize and her club are struggling to stay afloat.

DA Calls for Termination of Royal AM Sponsorship

In a recent development, the Democratic Alliance (DA) has urged the Msunduzi Local Municipality to reconsider its sponsorship of Royal AM. The party believes that the millions being poured into the soccer club could be better utilized to uplift local communities. This move comes after Shauwn Mkhize, the owner of Royal AM, was investigated for tax fraud, casting a shadow over the club’s legitimacy.

The DA’s request highlights growing public dissatisfaction with how funds are allocated, especially when they could be directed toward improving lives rather than supporting a club embroiled in controversy. As the debate intensifies, it remains to be seen whether the municipality will heed the call and reevaluate its priorities.
