  Monde Zondeki (born 25 July 1982) is a South African international cricketer who has played in five Test matches and ten One Day Internationals. He currently represents the Cape Cobras and Western Province in first-class cricket.
  
  In his debut Test match against England in 2003, Zondeki's bowling was limited due to injury. However, he made a significant contribution with the bat, scoring 59 runs in the first innings. He also partnered with Gary Kirsten for a crucial eighth-wicket stand of 150 runs, rescuing South Africa from a precarious position of 142 for 7. In his second Test against Zimbabwe in 2004-05, Zondeki took impressive figures of 3 for 66 and 6 for 39, helping South Africa secure an innings victory and earning him the player of the match award.
  
  During the 2007-08 South African season, Zondeki emerged as the leading wicket-taker, capturing 62 wickets at an average of 19.17. He represented Warwickshire during the early weeks of the 2008 season, where he was coached by former South African fast bowler Allan Donald. Although he took 4 for 95 in a County Championship match, his spell at Edgbaston was not successful, with 9 wickets at 42.33 in four Championship matches and 1 for 158 in four List A matches.
