Mngqithi hails Ndlovu as one of South Africa’s finest talents

GOLDEN Arrows coach Manqoba Mnggqithi has lavished praise on his inform winger Siyanda Ndlovu, describing him as one of the most complete young players in South African football and calling for his inclusion in the Bafana Bafana setup.

Formerly known as Mthanti, the 22-year-old attacker has been a revelation for Abafana Bes’thende this season.

Blessed with pace, technical flair, and impressive endurance, Ndlovu has played a starring role in Arrows’ strong start to the Betway Premiership campaign.

His consistency has not gone unnoticed by his coach, who believes national team selectors should be paying close attention.

With Bafana Bafana having recently sealed qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and preparing for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in December, Mngqithi feels Ndlovu’s time is now.

“This boy is just a marvel for me and in many ways. That's why I even said it earlier and I looked like a fool when I said,” Mngqithi said.
