As Kaizer Chiefs' humiliation at the hand of Royal AM in their own FNB Stadium backyard continues to reverberate through SA football, the newcomers' owner revelled in the spotlight in typical outlandish fashion at the weekend.
It was to be expected that flamboyant businesswoman Shauwn Mkhize would not hold back after Royal handed Chiefs an embarrassing 4-1 league defeat on Saturday evening, and she did it in fine style.
It was an evening to remember for the KwaZulu-Natal visitors and they were well on their way when Victor Letsoalo struck his first goal in the 34th minute. He returned with the second in the 66th minute, putting an already scrambling Chiefs permanently on the back foot. The home side appeared to have been handed an undeserved lifeline when Sifiso Hlanti's deflected free-kick snuck into the back of the net in the 74th minute.
But the flicker of hope proved to be short-lived as Chiefs substitute Sibusio Mabiliso turned the ball into his own net in the 76th minute. The home side were pretty much punch drunk at that point and it was left up to substitute Mfundo Thikazi to put them out of their misery with a fourth strike of the evening in the 95th.
Chiefs fans have been gasping for air since the final whistle and some incensed supporters are demanding that coach Stuart Baxter, who was hailed as a Messiah when he rejoined the club a few weeks ago, be shown the door with immediate effect.
