Siyanda Msani (born 12 August 2001) is a South African soccer player who plays as a defender for University of Pretoria on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League.

Msani was born in Umlazi. He was selected for a South African youth team to play at the 2019 African Games. [1]

Msani joined Mamelodi Sundowns through its academy, but was loaned out to gain playing time. His first two seasons were spent at the University of Pretoria, nicknamed the AmaTuks. [2] During his second season, Msani played every minute of every game, both in the league, cup and playoff. The AmaTuks lost the playoffs for promotion to the first tier. [2]

Consequently, Msani was loaned to a first-tier club, namely Richards Bay. [3] He made his first-tier debut in the 2022-23 South African Premier Division. [4] He also was called up for South Africa for the 2022 COSAFA Cup, [1] where he made his international debut. [5] In September 2022 he was called up again, this time as a replacement for an injured Terrence Mashego. [6] He was also named in the preliminary squad for the 2023 COSAFA Cup. [7]

Following the 2022–23 season, it was stated that Msani would not continue at Richards Bay. Among the contenders for a new loan transfer was said to have been Stellenbosch. [8] In July 2023, he was announced as a new Cape Town Spurs loan signing. [9]
