As reported by TimesLIVE, his presence there was in neither capacity, but as an unused substitute. Earlier this year, owner and Mpisane's mother Shauwn Mkhize explained his role at the club.

'MaMkhize' said that Mpisane's job was to oversee the running of the club's DStv Diski Challenge team, acquiring players for the side in preparation for a more important role down the line within the organisation.

She added:

“Andile knows his football. Andile can analyse a game from the beginning to the end. As we speak now, he’s got a full role in Diski. He is getting valuable information from the people who have been in the game for a long time such as Sinky Mnisi, Richard Makhoba and John Maduka.”

Mpisane has represented the senior team before at lower levels. Seeing him on the bench saw a flurry of posts on social media by intrigued observers.

Andile Mpisane’s age, net worth, wife, house, and Instagram

The question of Andile Mpisane's age came to light due to his numerous achievements and controversial life.

The youngster is a footballer, an actor, and a singer, making him that much more interesting. He made airwaves when he signed for Def Jam Records Africa and became the opening act for the Legends of the Streets tour in America in February 2022.

Let's dig in to find out more about the young player. The youngster plays for the Royal AM FC in the PSL as a midfielder, and has won the First Division title before. The father of three also has a successful music career, with controversy following his love life.
