Royal AMSowetan reports that contrary to claims that normality is returning at troubled PSL side Royal AM Football Club, even more chaos is brewing notwithstanding some of the soccer club’s players having received their salaries last weekend.

Sources said on Tuesday that the technical team and support staff, led by head coach John Maduka, had still not received their salaries. Meanwhile, players pitched at the training facility on Monday only to be greeted by locked gates as security complained they too were owed money. The uncertainty prevailing at the club puts into doubt Royal's next fixture against Orlando Pirates, scheduled for 23 January. On Tuesday, Sowetan gathered that Royal players haven't trained, apparently because the coaches and other support staff have still not received their pay. A player claimed he was still owed money, even while some of his colleagues had received their pay. The SA Revenue Services put Royal AM under curatorship amid reports that club president Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mkhize is under investigation over her tax affairs, apparently with an outstanding bill of R40m. Her assets, including luxury cars, were seized by the tax collector after a raid in December and Royal's bank accounts were frozen.
