Siviwe Sonwabile 'Shakes' Soyizwapi (born 7 December 1992 in Mthatha) is a South African rugby union player, who is currently contracted by the South African Rugby Union to play for the South Africa Sevens national team. His usual position is fullback or winger.
He played for the Border Bulldogs at the Under-18 Academy Week in 2010, earning a call-up to the South African Under-18 High Performance team, before joining the Eastern Province Kings Academy. He played for them at Under-21 Provincial Championship level in 2012 and 2013, finishing the latter competition as the top try scorer.
He made his first class debut in the 2012 Currie Cup Promotion/Relegation series against the Free State Cheetahs. Three appearances followed in the 2013 Vodacom Cup (scoring one try), as well as five appearances in the 2013 Currie Cup First Division (where he scored three tries) before reverting to the U21 side for the remainder of the season.
He was initially named in the Kings squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season, but was later released to the 2013 Vodacom Cup squad. Having made just four first-team appearances, he was recalled to the Super Rugby squad following an injury to Hadleigh Parkes, and made his Super Rugby debut in the 28–28 draw against the Brumbies in Canberra. He made three starts and three substitute appearances during the 2013 season.
