After several months of sitting on the sidelines, Andile Mpisane was given the chance to swap his Royal AM chairman position for that of a player after he made an appearance in a match on Saturday, 4 February.
Andile – whose mother is soccer boss Shauwn Mkhize aka “MaMkhize” – took on the role of captain in the club’s reserves match against Amazulu over the weekend.

DID ANDILE MPISANE THROW A TANTRUM?
But while the Royal AM Reserves team had much to smile about after their victory, Andile Mpisane was visibly upset in a clip that went viral on social media.
In the viral video, the 21-year-old was seen being substituted for another player Philani Sithebe. Andile also gave up his captain armband up to a fellow player before exiting the field.
But Andile was later seen having words with coach Khabo Zondo, much to the amusement of views.
“He seems to be really concerned and says: ‘Why me?’. He was not happy that he was subbed out in this match”, a Supersport commentator says in the background.

According to Goal.com, Andile Mpisane “made a mockery” out of the DSTV Diski Challenge with his “disastrous performance’, which included “minimal touches” and “taking playing minutes from one of the club’s youngsters.”
Here’s what soccer fans on social media had to say:
@JustDemulcent: “If he doesn’t want to be taken off, he must train hard and try to impress the coach just like any player. This is a professional soccer league. Not amateur. You don’t get to stay on the pitch just because you own the club.”
@TheeUltimateLee: “He wants to play, be the skipper, wear #10 & doesn’t wanna be subbed just because he’s the chairman. Yet he’s not even a footballer.”
@monkthepriest: “Claiming Andile Mpisane can play football (at a professional level) is insane …playing for a club his mom owns”
@Cfundoree: “I am sure it is very difficult to work with this spoiled brat. I feel sorry for the coach and staff”.

MORE TIME IN THE GYM?
It wasn’t just Andile’s attitude that was the talk of the Twitter streets. The amapiano hitmaker was also criticised over his “overweight” form.
One tweep posted: “Andile Mpisane is taking the body positivity way too far. He is way unfit and overweight to be playing professional soccer.”
