Career

edit

Siyabonga is the captain of Swaziland national football team. In the 2016 COSAFA Cup semifinals match against South Africa, his team was leading by 1-0 against half time, only for Siyabonga to get red carded for a foul on Judas Moseamedi. The South Africans prevailed 5-1 ultimately, and went on to become the champions in the final.[2][3]

Siyabongo assaulted Royal Leopards F.C.'s Zweli ‘Mlilo’ Nxumalo during the second-leg semifinals of the 2015 Swazi Premier League. He later apologised for the incident.[4][5]
