Youth
He represented the Pumas at the 2006 and 2007 Under–18 Craven Week tournaments, which earned him a place in the Sharks academy. He played for their Under–19 team in 2008 and their Under–21 team in 2010.
Sharks
In 2011, he was included in the 2011 Vodacom Cup squad and made his debut against the Welwitschias.
NMMU Madibaz
However, he failed to break into the Currie Cup team and joined Varsity Cup side NMMU Madibaz instead. He was included in the South Africa Students team in 2012 and 2013 and he was also voted as the "Back That Rocks" for the 2013 Varsity Cup tournament.
Griquas
He had a trial with the Free State Cheetahs in 2013, but joined the Griquas instead.
Golden Lions
He moved to Johannesburg to join the Golden Lions prior to the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division season.
South Africa 'A'
In 2016, Mnisi was included in a South Africa 'A' squad that played a two-match series against a touring England Saxons team. He was named in the starting line-up for their first match in Bloemfontein, but ended on the losing side as the visitors ran out 32–24 winners. He was named on the bench for the second match of the series, coming on as a second-half replacement in a 26–29 defeat to the Saxons in George.
