Thando Mngomeni (born 11 February 1983 in Cape Town, Western Cape) is a South African football (soccer) midfielder.

Thando is a pure example of South Africa's unorthodox style of play.

He hails from Gugulethu on the Cape Flats and is the younger brother of former Orlando Pirates player and South African international Thabo Mngomeni.

Career

Mngomeni spent a season and a half in Sweden with Helsingborgs IF and made 29 appearances before returning to South Africa claiming he could not cope.

He returned to Santos after semi-retirement and impressed with some good performances during the 2007/08 season. He signed for Mamelodi Sundowns and moved to Bidvest Wits after a year and half.

He is currently a free agent.

International career

He has so far been capped five times.

Interest outside football

Thando Mngomeni has acquired shares in an online soccer/football community called TheSoccerPages.Com to begin a career as a blogger and commentator.

He has taken on a role as co-host of a monthly live soccer/football talk show called Diski Nites in Cape Town.[1] [2]

He is also consulting with youth players helping them one-on-one with advice and skills training.
