Club career


Tsabedze played his first season of top-flight football in 2012–13 with the newly-promoted Manzini Sea Birds, notably scoring in a victory over 12-time champions Mbabane Highlanders.[1] The following season he scored a gamewinner against Manzini Wanderers, another giant of Swazi football.[2] After years of struggling at the bottom of the table, the team was finally relegated after the 2016–17 season.

In the second-tier, Tsabedze led the Manzini Sea Birds to a league title in 2017–18 and promotion back into the MTN Premier League.[3][4] He also earned league player of the year honors after finishing as the joint-top scorer with 14 goals.[3][5] On 2 December 2018 Tsabedze scored in a 4–1 win over Manzini Wanderers and earned man of the match honors; The Times of Swaziland called him "eccentric" and "a handful with his pace and skill."[6]


International career


Tsabedze received his first callup to the Eswatini under-20s at the age of 15.[7] He later played a significant role at the 2017 COSAFA U-20 Cup in Zambia, scoring against Malawi and Uganda in group play.[8][9] He also represented the Eswatini U23s during 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualification, netting a goal against Zimbabwe.[10]

Tsabedze was called up to the senior national team ahead of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[11] He made his debut in a Group I fixture against Congo on 12 November 2020, replacing Phiwayinkhosi Dlamini during the 2–0 loss.[12]
