ANDILE MPISANE MAKES ROYAL AM DSTV PREMIERSHIP SQUAD

In case you forgot or never realised, the 21-year-old is a footballer.

Following his first outing with the Royal AM reserve team in the Multichoice Diski Challenge (MDC) last season, the midfielder has edged closer to PSL action.

Tuesday’s teamsheet against Richards Bay saw Andile Mpisane included in the substitutes bench, and with the somewhat quirky jersey number 1. No, he is not a goalkeeper.

For those who missed his moments in the MDC last season, he strongly resembled the late Isaac ‘Shakes’ Khunguane in stature, technique, and style.
