Career

Sandile Ginindza played in the 4-2 2016 COSAFA Cup win over Zambia, making two penalty shoot-out saves before scoring the winning penalty, therefore scoring his first career penalty thus enabling his team to reach the semi-finals.[3] Also, he was named in both Swaziland squads for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and for the 2016 COSAFA Cup.[4][5]

Orlando Pirates FC were reportedly watching him play in a 3-0 win over Manzini Sea Birds F.C. to replace their late goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa.[6]

Assailing a Mbabane Swallows F.C. fan and a Deputy Sheriff who tried to intervene, he was brought before a magistrate and was liable to be fined E15000 which is the consequence for assaulting a spectator according to the Swazi Premier League rules in Article 7.[7]

Featured as 'Moemish of the Week' in the show Soccer Zone on Monday when he made an error which made it 2-0 for Thanda Royal Zulu F.C.[8]
