Andile (SA) is apparently pronounced (roughly) as ahn-Dee-lay.
So wouldn't Sandile be sahn-Dee-lay?
That would be attractive sounding to me. Also intuitive somehow. If it is only 2 syllables, I'd get a bit hung up on similarity to English "sandal."

I literally misread this name as sandal at first 🤣

I don't know how to say it so my opinion is uninformed. Sahn-deel would be the best pronunciation but what if its San-deel, Sahn-diel or something else entirely?

Sahn-deel was said.
