Sbonelo Cele (born 27 August 2001) is a South African soccer player who plays as a left back for Lamontville Golden Arrows in the Premier Soccer League.[2]

In March 2022 he was named in a preliminary national team squad to play France, but was not a part of the final 23-man squad.[3] Cele was instead called up to Bafana Bafana for the 2022 COSAFA Cup. Here, he featured during the plate final which South Africa won against Botswana.[1][4]
