Royal AM Football Club is facing a severe financial crisis due to owner Shauwn Mkhize's alleged tax evasion and failure to pay players and staff. SARS obtained a preservation order over the club's assets, appointing a curator to resolve the issues. Mkhize's attempts to dismiss the efforts of SARS and the PSL to bring her to book have been unsuccessful in court. The PSL is now faced with a dilemma on how to handle the situation while considering their commitments to sponsors and broadcast obligations.

In early January, SARS obtained a preservation order over the club's assets and operations. A curator was appointed to help the club resolve issues with SARS and secure permission to release funds for player and staff salaries. Mkhize wanted the courts to force the curator to issue a letter of comfort to the National Soccer League, guaranteeing the club’s financial ability to fulfil its league fixtures. She felt this was important after the PSL suspended all their matches. She requested the court to compel the NSL to allow the club to play the remainder of the football season’s league and Nedbank Cup games.
SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter was baffled by Mkhize's decision to approach the court yet again in times of trouble. He said:"It boggles the mind that taxpayers will turn to courts with ease yet derelict in their responsibility to meet with their obligations with similar enthusiasm."
