Andile Mpisane’s dance moves go viral amid Royal AM financial crisis – VIDEO
Royal AM chairman Andile Mpisane has once again grabbed the attention of social media users, but this time, it’s not for his football decisions or luxury lifestyle—it’s for his carefree dance moves.
Despite the ongoing financial troubles at Royal AM, the reality TV star, singer, and football executive was seen dancing to a Gqom track in a viral video, sparking mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
Dancing Through the Chaos?
The video, which was widely shared on social media, shows Andile effortlessly vibing to the music, seemingly unfazed by the financial turmoil surrounding his football club. The clip was first posted by X blog page @MDNnewss, where it quickly gained traction.

While some viewers applauded his confidence, others couldn’t help but speculate that his dance was a distraction from the mounting troubles at Royal AM.
One user, @mzuzups, humorously pointed out that Andile’s routine lacked coordination, commenting:
“If you ask him to repeat the dance, he cannot redo this routine the same way. You can see it’s just a mix of dance styles he saw.”
Other users took a more critical approach, accusing Andile of ignoring the real issues at Royal AM while indulging in social media entertainment.
Royal AM’s Financial Woes Deepen
Andile’s carefree attitude in the video comes at a time when Royal AM is facing serious financial difficulties. Reports recently surfaced that his mother, Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize, owes the South African Revenue Service (SARS) a staggering R40 million in unpaid taxes.
In a devastating court ruling, it was ordered that Royal AM’s assets be auctioned to help settle the outstanding debt. This decision has sent shockwaves through South African football, as many question the club’s future amid these financial constraints.
The club’s financial struggles don’t stop there. In addition to the SARS case, Royal AM is also entangled in legal battles with former players and employees.
One of the biggest legal disputes involves ex-Royal AM striker Samir Nurkovic, who is still owed R15 million by the club. The FIFA ruling on this case has placed further pressure on MaMkhize and Andile to settle their debts or face severe consequences.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics
While Andile’s dance video entertained some, many football fans expressed frustration at the perceived lack of urgency in addressing Royal AM’s financial issues.
Critics believe that, as chairman of the club, he should be focusing on resolving the financial crisis rather than posting dance videos online. Some fans even called for him to step down from his leadership role, questioning his ability to manage a professional football team effectively.
However, his supporters defended him, arguing that he has the right to enjoy himself despite the challenges. Many pointed out that social media doesn’t always reflect reality, and Andile’s dance might not necessarily mean he is ignoring the club’s problems.
One fan wrote:
“People expect Andile to be miserable 24/7 because of Royal AM’s issues. Let the guy breathe! Dancing doesn’t mean he isn’t dealing with the situation.”
Another added:
“MaMkhize is the owner, not Andile. Why are people blaming him? He is just enjoying his life.”
What’s Next for Royal AM?
The coming weeks will be critical for Royal AM, as the club navigates its financial and legal battles. The auction of assets could significantly impact the team’s ability to compete in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), raising concerns about its future.
Additionally, the R15 million owed to Samir Nurkovic remains an unresolved issue, and failure to settle this debt could result in further sanctions from football governing bodies.
Despite the drama, MaMkhize has remained confident, assuring fans that she is working on a solution. Whether Royal AM will recover from this financial crisis remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Andile Mpisane is dancing through the storm, whether people like it or not.
