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.
