Young, raw and quick, Zondeki is cut straight from
the modern history of the new South Africa and spent a year of his
early childhood in Zambia living with his exiled uncle, the late ANC
cabinet minister Steve Tshwete.He returned to South Africa where he
attended Dale College, a predominantly white boarding school near
his home in the Eastern Cape, but which also claims Makhaya Ntini as
an old boy. Although he initially bowled legspin, he was soon
bowling fast and later, very fast. After Mfuneko Ngam's huge promise
was severed by a string of injuries, Zondeki became the next young
fast bowler to attempt to fill the boots of Allan Donald. He could
hardly have made a more stunning impact, taking a wicket withhis
first ball in international cricket, Sri Lanka's Marvan Atapattu
caught in the slips during a one-day international in Bloemfontein
in 2002. During the 2003 World Cup, Zondeki was a literal
replacement for Donald, the selectors opting for youth and promise
over experience. Predictably, Zondeki struggled to make an
impression under enormous pressure but was seleced for the 2003 tour
of England. He made an impression on his debut at Headingley, but
with bat not ball. South Africa were struggling at 142 for 7 before
Zondeki and Gary Kisten added 150 for the eighth wicket. But a side
injury restricted him to just 4.5 overs, and his bad luck with
injuries meant he did not get back into the Test side until March
2005, against Zimbabwe. It was an impressive comeback, nine wickets
- including a career best 6 for 39 - booking him a place to the West
Indies
