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]
