Royal AM confirm pitch cash was for bets and defend their behaviour

The Thwihli Thwahla bosses were captured on video parading wards of cash during scenes of jubilation on Sunday

Royal AM chief executive officer Sinky Mnisi has defended their 'cash stunt' at the Chatsworth Stadium pitch as not showing off, also saying the money was not meant for player bonuses.

Club owner Shauwn Mkhize, her son Andile Mpisane and their entourage were seen with a big brown envelope, parading what looked like huge sums of money just after their 2-1 Premier Soccer League win over Maritzburg United.

The spectacle trended on social media, with most Twitter users assuming the money was winning bonuses for Royal AM players.
