The club, which was formerly Bloemfontein Celtics before relocating to KwaZulu-Natal in 2021, was placed under administration to address these outstanding tax debts. As part of this process, SARS seized 13 luxury cars and a tour bus connected to MaMkhize. These assets are now set to be auctioned online through Bidders Choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-2922329807\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"luxury-cars-and-royal-am-bus-on-the-auction-block\">Luxury Cars and Royal AM Bus on the Auction Block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The auction features 14 vehicles, including some rare and valuable models:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2022 Mercedes-Benz S680 Maybach Edition 100, one of only 100 worldwide, valued at about R5.6 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020 Bentley Continental GTC, worth around R4 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen ONYX Edition, valued over R2 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2022 BMW i7 xDrive 60, a state-of-the-art electric sedan priced near R3 million<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2018 Mercedes-Benz V-Class Maybach Bus and a 2014 Mercedes-Benz Marcopolo G7 tour bus, both still bearing Royal AM branding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional luxury BMWs, Toyota Hilux bakkies, a Nissan NP300, and a Volkswagen Crafter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These vehicles showcase MaMkhize\u2019s extravagant lifestyle and the club\u2019s luxurious image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-participate-in-the-auction\">How to Participate in the Auction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buyers interested in the auction must register by paying a refundable deposit of R50,000.
