Celebrity entrepreneur Shauwn MaMkhize Mkhize finds herself in legal turmoil following bombshell accusations that she fabricated her sister’s signature to complete the controversial Royal AM football club acquisition. Court documents reveal explosive claims of identity theft during a vulnerable period when her sibling was hospitalized.
Allegations of Fraudulent Business Dealings Surface
According to verified court submissions dated July 2025, Nosipho Ngubo alleges her famous sister unlawfully utilized her personal details to establish multiple corporate entities without authorization. The purported scheme reportedly coincided with MaMkhize’s contentious divorce proceedings from ex-husband Sbu Mpisane, potentially as an asset protection strategy.
Ngubo’s sworn affidavit identifies several companies allegedly created under her name without consent, including prominent business ventures and charitable organizations tied to the Mkhize brand. Most critically, the documents suggest Ngubo had zero involvement in the high-profile Royal AM transaction that made national headlines.

SARS Investigation Compounds Financial Fallout
The scandal emerges as South African tax authorities intensify scrutiny of the Mkhize business empire. In a devastating financial blow, SARS recently froze Ngubo’s accounts to recover R12 million in unpaid taxes linked to the disputed companies – debts Ngubo maintains she never incurred.
Meanwhile, MaMkhize herself faces a staggering R40 million tax investigation, with her prized football club Royal AM now under curatorship amid looming liquidation threats. The dual financial crises have reportedly created severe hardship for Ngubo’s family, leaving them unable to fulfill basic financial commitments.

As the forgery case advances in Durban’s High Court, legal experts suggest the outcome could trigger catastrophic consequences for MaMkhize’s business interests and public image. The reality star has remained conspicuously silent regarding the allegations, while observers speculate about potential criminal charges.
