Tinotenda Mavesere (born 17 October 1998) is a Zimbabwean rugby union player, who plays for the Sharks in the United Rugby Championship and the Sharks in the Currie Cup. His preferred position is flanker.[1]

Early career

Mavesere attended Churchill School in Harare.[2] He moved to South Africa and attended the University of the Western Cape,[3] where his appearances for their rugby side earned him the attention of the Sharks.

Professional career

Mavesere originally signed for the Sharks in 2021,[4] however it wasn't until 2023 that he debuted for the Sharks Currie Cup side in the 2023 Currie Cup Premier Division, having suffered a knee ligament injury that ruled him out of both Sharks selection and selection for the Zimbabwe national side.[5] He would go on to make 6 appearances in the competition, scoring one try, while remaining a part of the Sharks side for the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship.
