Domestic career
Nondumiso Shangase built her domestic career through the KwaZulu-Natal system. She entered the provincial pathway as a teenager and progressed from the under-19 setup into the senior squad by the 2014/15 season.
She represented KwaZulu-Natal Women in both the CSA Women’s Provincial One-Day and T20 Challenge competitions until the 2019 restructuring. After the split into KZN Coastal and KZN Inland, she joined KZN Coastal Women and stayed with the side through the 2024/25 season.
One of her major domestic highlights came in 2021 when she scored 104 not out against Easterns, her first century in provincial cricket. She later stepped into leadership and captained the KZN Coastal one-day squad, guiding a young group and maintaining consistent performances with the ball.
