Siphiwe Ignatius Mkhonza (2 January 1979 – 5 March 2024) was a South African soccer player who played as a centre-back.
Joining next the Pietersburg based club, Ria Stars, who were promoted in the previous season, Mkhonza would prove that his leadership qualities were acknowledged as he would captain the team in the 2001-2002 campaign and make 30 appearances.
In arguably his most successful stint with any club, Mkhonza made the big move to Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs from 2004 to 2007.
His move to the Glamour Boys would see Mkhonza receive his first South Africa national team call up and game.
While playing in a more senior role for the Durban-based outfit, he would help them to a Nedbank Cup final (losing 3–0 to Bidvest Wits) and get the club into the top 8 for the first time.
