He was a youth player at Orlando Pirates.[1] Having short spells in Cape Town All Stars and Chippa United at the start of his senior career, Mncube made his first-tier debut in the 2016–17 South African Premier Division.[2] In 2018, he signed for National First Division side Jomo Cosmos.[3]
From 2019, Mncube played two seasons as a regular in JDR Stars. The team was close to win promotion to the top flight, but ultimately failed. In 2021, Mncube instead returned to the first tier by way of a transfer to Sekhukhune United.[4][5]
He scored his first Premier Division goal against Baroka in February 2022.[6] Another notable goal came in January 2023, the only goal in a game against Kaizer Chiefs.[7] Mncube was a regular at Sekhukhune United over the next seasons,[8][9] playing as a substitute in the 2022–23 Nedbank Cup final where Sekhukhune United lost to Orlando Pirates.[10]
He is nicknamed "Skheshe".[11]
