Cape Town — From businessman, to musician, to chairPerson and football player, Andile Mpisane does it all, and his actions often draw criticisms from all over Mzansi.
Andile is often labelled as a spoilt child who only gets the opportunities he does because he is the child of South African business extraordinaire and Royal AM owner, Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, and is undeserving of his spot on the team.
However, recent evidence has suggested Andile has been putting the work in to show people he’s earned his spot.
A recent video posted on social media shows Andile working hard in the gym and showing off a noticeably slimmer figure as he prepares for the current football season.

In a recent league fixture between Royal AM and Kaizer Chiefs, the game ended 0-0, with Andile an unused substitute. However, his coach, John Maduka, had high praise for him, The South African reported.
“He’s not a player that pulls out [of training sessions]. He might look the way he looks [he looks a little bit out of shape] but whenever we do training sessions, he does finish training sessions. The conditioning part is very, very tough but he does manage to finish,” Maduka was quoted as saying.’
According to TimesLIVE, Masuka said he played about 75 minutes in which he never looked like a player who would get tired. He is still part of the team. Andile has also featured for the club’s DStv Diski Challenge reserve team and videos of him showboating have been doing the rounds on social media.
