Siyanda Msani (born 12 August 2001) is a South African soccer player who plays as a defender for Cape Town Spurs 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 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]
