Musawenkosi Siyabonga Twala (‘Musa’) is a dynamic wicket-keeper batter who represented the South Africa Emerging Players in August 2023.
He currently plays domestic cricket for Mpumalanga, having moved from the Titans Franchise for the 2024/25 season. Prior to his move, Musa competed in Division 1, South Africa’s top professional tier, debuting for the Titans in 2022/23 alongside international stars like Dean Elgar, Lungi Ngidi, Heinrich Klaasen, and Dewald Brevis.
His selection for the Titans was unexpected by some, but head coach Richard das Neves and others saw his potential. In November 2021, he showcased his talent with a standout 124 off 245 balls for Easterns against Limpopo in a CSA 4-Day (Division 2) match.
A product of the Easterns pathway, Musa earned a cricket scholarship to St Albans College in Pretoria and went on to represent Northerns at Coke Week in 2018. He made his first-class debut for Easterns in 2019 and gained further experience in 2021/22 before his Titans move.
Limited opportunities in 2023/24 led to his transfer to Mpumalanga, but before that, he enjoyed a successful maiden UK stint with Bovey Tracey in the Devon Premier League, scoring 763 runs at 40.16 and taking 21 wickets at 22.62 when not keeping wicket.
Musa is set for a UK return in 2025 and remains a player to watch.
