Is Royal AM’s chairman Andile Mpisane married?

Influencer Sithelo Shozi recently threw her followers for a loop when she joked that she was married to Royal AM's chairman Andile Mpisane.


Royal AM Football Club chairman Andile Mpisane’s relationship with the mother of his two children Sithelo Shozi has been the subject of much speculation.

Shozi fuelled the flames of the rumour mill when she recently declared on an Instagram live stream that she is “married”.

ZAlebs reports that Shozi made the comments while engaging with followers who had tuned into the live stream and wanted her to speak about her relationship with baby daddy.

One follower then greeted her and referred to her as Sithelo Mpisane in the comments on the stream.

“You got that right, I mean hello! Ngishadile! Ngishade kakhulu, phumani kumina (I am married, I am very married, leave me alone),” said Sithelo.

According to the publication, she proceeded to make comments laden with sexual innuendo, even joking that her “stove” is at six. She added that her “stove” is so hot that even the lights trip.

In this instance, stating that one’s stove is set to a certain number is a joke about sexual prowess often used in reference to women. The higher the number, the better the “stove”, the more sexually adept the person in question is.

Mpisane, who also serves as Royal AM’s midfielder, runs the team alongside his mother, Shauwn Mkhize (formerly Mpisane).

Sithelo and Andile recently welcomed their second baby together – a baby girl named Likuwe β€œCoco” Mpisane. Their older daughter, Flo, turned 1 in May and she was named after Mpisane’s grandmother, political icon Florence Mkhize.

The significant age gap between Sithelo and the Royal AM chairman has also been a point of contention among fans and detractors of their relationship. Mpisane is 20 and Sithelo is 27.

Some have even gone as far as labelling her a “sexual predator”, making the argument that if the roles were reversed and she was a 27-year-old man dating a 20-year-old woman, it would be heavily frowned upon.

Sithelo also has a son named Makhosini, who was once considered a “meme baby” after a picture of him once went viral on Twitter.
