Royal AM head coach John Maduka has admitted that club chairman Andile Mpisane will continue to get minutes for the Betway Premiership club.
Mpisane started the club’s opening game of the new season against Cape Town City which ended in a 1-1 draw.
He had made his debut with a 10-minute cameo in the 0-0 draw with Richards Bay in the 2022/23 season.
Last term he had two minutes in a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows before a highly forgettable 45 minutes in a heavy 3-0 loss to AmaZulu where he came off at halftime with the damage already done.
On Saturday, Mpisane was withdrawn in the 51st minute with the team 1-0 down from an eighth-minute Prins Tijueza goal.
Motebang Sera came on for Mpisane and netted a vital equaliser with six minutes of the match remaining.
Maduka said on iDiski Times: “To come to Chairman, yeah we gave him a chance.
“You know he played whatever. He did whatever he was supposed to do, then you had to make a change to put someone else.
“I mean it’s part of football. It’s part of the game.
“Things like that you know will happen here and there. It will happen so many times and yeah life goes on.
“It’s just a normal situation whereby you know if he’s given a chance to play, he plays.
“There are times maybe he’ll be given maybe 15 minutes, the last 15 minutes or 20 minutes in situations like that depending on what’s happening in the field of play.”
Andile Mpisane the star⭐️
