Jongikhaya Lutric Nokwe (born 30 December 1981) is a South African rugby union player who plays as a winger for KwaZulu-Natal club side College Rovers.
He is a former Springbok during the period in which he played for the Cheetahs franchise in the Super 14 tournament, and the Free State Cheetahs in the domestic Currie Cup competition. He has also represented Boland Cavaliers and the Stormers, as well as the Eastern Province Kings, Falcons and the Sharks.
Nokwe made his international debut against Argentina on 9 August 2008 and scored a try as the Springboks won 63–9. In only his third game, he became the first Springbok player to score four tries against the Wallabies in a test match in a 53–8 victory at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg before injuring his leg.
The following year he was selected in the South Africa squad to play the British and Irish Lions and started the final test as the Springboks won the series 2–1.
In 2005 Nokwe was named South African Young Player of the Year ahead of future Springboks Morné Steyn, Wynand Olivier, Ruan Pienaar and JP Pietersen.
In 2006 he was named Provincial Sportsman of the Year by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport in the Western Cape.
