Lindokuhle "Linda" Mkhwanazi (born July 12, 1985 in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal) is a South African football (soccer) player who plays as a defensive midfielder for Orlando Pirates in the South African Premier Soccer League and South Africa.
Since making his professional debut on October 19, 2007 - when Pirates went on the rampage, beating Bloemfontein Celtic 3-0 in an ABSA Premiership game - Mkhwanazi has been outstanding. The fact that he has so far featured in six of the club's 11 games speaks volume as the Owen Da Gama coached side has a number of talented midfielders.
Mkhwanazi's achievements with Pirates while he was still in their development structures includes representing the country in the finals of the Nike Premier Cup last year in England after his club beat Supersport United 4-3 on penalties back at home.
Mkhwanazi has been competing at an international level with the Under-23 Olympic team since 2004.
