Andile Mpisane ridiculed as 21-year-old chairman plays for his own club: ‘He’ll fire the coach’

Did the chairman being named in the starting XI make a mockery of South African soccer?

Some supporters certainly think so…

“Royal AM playing Andile Mpisane is a disrespect to SA football,” wrote @swazzinaiter3. “So many young talents on the bench of AM who needs this opportunity to be scouted by other teams in the PSL?

“He played almost 60 minutes, he touched the ball twice.”

@Thandi44926799 agreed.

“Mpisane must give other kids the chance to shine bathing,” she wrote.

“What joke for Andile Mpsiane running around the field with no touch of the ball,” echoed @cadafia_king, “with no touch of the ball.

“He ended up being substituted.”

“These boys are not passing to Andile Mpisane,” observed Malume Vandal…with the Royal AM reserves clearly not impressed to be playing alongside their employer!

“Andile Mpisane should focus on what he does best,” wrote @Riccardo_Elle, “making babies.

“The rest doesn’t matter.”

The Royal AM chairman has three children with two women.

With Mpisane’s footwork letting him down on occasion during the contest, and the club chairman appearing out of shape, some supporters claimed the sport was a distraction.

“Mpisane should just focus on music,” wrote @Washu24727, in reference to the chairman’s primary career!

Others didn’t even believe that the Royal AM chief can seek refuge in his music career.

“Mpisane should stop playing soccer,” wrote @kingSnezzo, “and also he should stop singing.”

A number of supporters remarked that, unlike the other players on the Royal AM roster, the chairman didn’t appear to have kept himself in the kind of condition required of a professional athlete.

“Mpsiane playing football at pro level with that body is just wild bro,” wrote @Telmon_Maluleke.

Despite his sub-par showing, Mpisane appeared shocked and disgusted at having been subbed…but observers weren’t surprised.

Andile Mpisane not happy he was substituted 🙉 Tyhin' Thixo!!

Will the head coach’s decision to substitute his own chairman spell the end of his tenure? Some fans believe so.

“Mpisane is going to fire the coach tomorrow,” predicted @Lany_Ath.

We’ll leave the last word to @MalambaneT

“Most people hating on Andile Mpisane because of the clout he has,” they wrote. “Jealous people.”
