Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila Football Club (often known as TTM F.C.) is a South African professional football club based in the town of Thohoyandou in the Limpopo province.
The club purchased the National First Division (NFD) status of Milano United F.C. in July 2017. The club had previously played in the ABC Motsepe League.
Under owner Lawrence Mulaudzi, the club continued to spend its way to the top when in 2020 it purchased the Premiership status of Bidvest Wits, and played in the 2020–21 South African Premiership. Seven months after the purchase, with the club in financial difficulties, last in the league, and with players striking after salaries were unpaid, the club sold their franchise to a pharmaceuticals consortium., which formed Marumo Gallants, and purchased a National First Division from Royal AM. TTM were relegated at the end of the 2022–23 National First Division season, and did not return in the following year's SAFA Second Division.
Fraud accusations
In December 2020, CEO Sello Chokoe was accused of fraud and of stealing over R2 million from the club, and was suspended pending a hearing. Sello continued to receive a full salary, and repeatedly avoided a hearing by submitting a sick note on the days before.
