From luxury mansions to an enviable fleet of high-end cars, Shauwn Mkhize, famously known as MaMkhize, has built an empire that few can rival. However, her lavish lifestyle has recently come under scrutiny as the South African Revenue Service (SARS) continues its efforts to recover millions in unpaid taxes.

Tax Troubles and Mansion Raids

This week, MaMkhize’s Durban mansion became the center of attention when SARS, backed by police and state agencies, conducted a raid. Reports suggest the business mogul owes around R40 million in unpaid taxes, a figure that has escalated from R12.7 million last year. The increase is partly attributed to a legal ruling that required her to pay a former Royal AM player, Samir Nurkovic, his full two-year contract.

SARS confirmed that the raid was part of its broader initiative to tackle tax evasion and protect the country’s economy. Officials revealed they acted to secure assets from MaMkhize, who had allegedly evaded previous attempts to collect outstanding dues. Earlier this year, an execution order was granted against Royal AM and MaMkhize, but attempts to seize her assets were met with resistance, including a standoff between security companies.

Social media was abuzz after videos surfaced showing a fleet of luxury cars being towed, sparking speculation about whether they belonged to MaMkhize. However, no official confirmation has been made.

Inside MaMkhize’s Multimillion-Rand Fortune

Despite the controversies, MaMkhize’s wealth remains undeniable, with her fortune built on various business ventures, properties, and a jaw-dropping collection of luxury cars.

Business Ventures

MaMkhize is a prominent businesswoman and tenderpreneur. She owns Zikhulise Construction, a company that has secured multiple government contracts, particularly for building RDP houses in KwaZulu-Natal. Additionally, she is the owner of Royal AM, a South African Premier League soccer club, further cementing her status in the sports and business world.

Properties

One of her most well-known assets is her R20 million mega-mansion in Durban’s affluent La Lucia suburb. Reports also suggest she owns properties in Johannesburg’s Sandton and farms in Pietermaritzburg. These properties highlight her extensive real estate investments across South Africa.

Luxury Cars

MaMkhize and her son, Andile Mpisane, are known for their extravagant car collection, valued at over R55 million. Some of the standout vehicles in their fleet include:
– Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge – R16 million
– Ferrari 612 Scaglietti – R3 million
– Rolls-Royce Ghost– R4.5 million
– Bentley Bentayga– R3 million
– Lamborghini Huracan – R4.5 million
– Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S650– R3.6 million

This collection underscores her passion for luxury and her ability to indulge in some of the world’s most exclusive vehicles.

The Road Ahead

While MaMkhize’s fortune paints a picture of opulence and success, her ongoing tax disputes have cast a shadow over her empire. Whether she resolves her financial woes or faces further consequences, one thing is certain: MaMkhize’s wealth and lifestyle will continue to captivate public interest.
