A group calling themselves Royal AM national supporters has expressed their views on the club’s imminent expulsion from the PSL. The club is set to be kicked out when the PSL Board of Governors meets next Thursday.
This follows a recommendation by the PSL Exco following their meeting on Wednesday to cancel the membership of Royal AM.
Royal AM have had their matches postponed due to being placed under curatorship by the South African Revenue Service [SARS], who want to recover a debt of approximately R40 million associated with a family trust linked to businesswoman Shauwn Mkhize.
The club’s last match was on 29 December 2024 against TS Galaxy as they are at the bottom of the log standings.
In a letter published by well-known ‘Super fan’ Mama Joy, the supporters say they are optimistic about the club resurfacing in the future.
‘WOUNDED’ ROYAL AM SUPPORTERS SEND MESSAGE OF SUPPORT TO CLUB PRESIDENT
“Dear Mamkhize. We are so incredibly wounded to hear about the insolvency of our team,” reads the letter addressed to club president Shauwn Mkhize.
“Losing something you’ve poured your heart and soul into, building something from the ground up, is an incredibly difficult experience, and we can only imagine how much this must hurt. Please know that we are here for you, we want you to know that we are thinking of you and sending you all love and support during this challenging time.
“We know words may not be enough to ease the pain, but we want you to know that we will always support you. We know that you are a strong woman and a resilient person, and we have no doubt that you will navigate through this difficult time and emerge stronger than ever.”
FANS STILL OPTIMISTIC OF ROYAL AM’S RETURN AMID IMMINENT EXPULSION FROM THE PSL
The latter added: “Remember to be kind to yourself during this period of transition. Focus on your well-being and allow yourself the space to anguish and process your emotions.”
“We pray all your losses to be recovered and your productions to prosper abundantly in the near future. Thank you for sharing with us extraordinary exultant moments at the sports grounds, celebrating the victories of our Royal Andile Mpisane Team. We still believe in you, and we are looking forward to the great reappearance of Royal AM We are here for you, always.”
