"I am standing here to correct the misinformation and a strong rumour that has been going viral regarding Royal AM player salaries for December month," Makhoba said in a video released by the club.
"I can state categorically clearly that the players were paid timeously in December to allow them to meet all their festive obligations in as far as their families are concerned.
"The story that was posted is not correct, is false and malicious and as a club, we view that story as defamatory.
"It must be dealt with the contempt that it deserves and as a club, when the time is right, we will seek an opinion as to what we need to do about the story."
Royal AM captain Samuel Manganyi echoed Makhoba's remarks and says the players are happy.
"There were accusations of Royal AM not paying their players. Those are false accusations, we all got paid our December salaries and we are very happy."
John Maduka's charges will finish the year with a DStv Premiership clash against KwaZulu-Natal rivals AmaZulu on Friday.
