Somila Ntsundwana (born 26 November 1996) is a South African soccer player who plays as a forward for Richards Bay in the Premier Soccer League.
He hails from Motherwell, Eastern Cape.[1] he came up though the academy of Bidvest Wits,[2] and also made his Premier Division debut for Wits in December 2015.[3] He has been nicknamed Balotelli.[2]
Ahead of the 2017–18 season he joined AmaZulu.[4] Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Ntsundwana was told by then-manager Cavin Johnson that he was not in his plans at AmaZulu, and was obligated to go on loan. Ntsundwana went to Royal Eagles, a step down to the second tier, but he did see more playing time.[1] However, Royal Eagles disintegrated, and Ntsundwana was back with AmaZulu until he went on his second loan in January 2021, this time to Richards Bay.[2][5]
Ahead of the 2021–22 season, Ntsundwana declined to return to AmaZulu and joined Richards Bay permanently.[6] The club won promotion from the 2021-22 National First Division, with Ntsundwana being a regular in Richards Bay's subsequent stint in the Premier Division.[3]
