TV personality Minnie Dlamini caused a social media ruckus on Thursday when she was unveiled as the first female cover star of local footie mag KickOff.

Minnie, who recently took a job as a host on SuperSport, graces the magazine's March 2017 cover posed in a smart suit with a soccer ball.

The decision to use Minnie on the cover split Twitter, with many fans questioning why a local female football star was not used.

While some users claimed that the cover was "disrespectful to football".

Despite the backlash to the cover Minnie's fans hailed it and defended her.
