The online auction of Durban businesswoman Shauwn Mkhize’s, Mam’Mkhize to her fans, has closed, with several of her luxury items being sold.

Auction house Bidders Choice opened bids for luxury handbags and assets on Friday October 10 and closed on October 15.

Bids on the luxury handbags at first started slow but with time interest grew. The assets are up for auction following a legal showdown with the SA Revenue Service which seized luxury items over unpaid  taxes.

Gossip on the streets used to be that many of Mam’Mkhize’s handbags were fake: well not the ones on auction, all authenticated and the real deal.

IOL previously reported that Mkhize’s assets, including vehicles, were seized at a training facility on a farm outside Pietermaritzburg and Mkhize’s house in Sandton, Johannesburg.

The taxman sent at least 10 trucks to remove the items. Other small and heavy-duty tow trucks were brought in to tow away vehicles, including heavy construction vehicles and a number of metal shipping containers.
