Shalulile arrives at Jangwan Street with an outstanding record of 136 goals in all competitions for Sundowns, helping the club dominate South African football while also conquering the continent
Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian mainland champions Young Africans (Yanga) have completed one of the biggest signings of the transfer window after securing the services of Namibian international striker Peter Shalulile to reinforce their attack ahead of the 2026/2027 season.
The experienced forward joins the Mainland Tanzania Premier League champions after bringing the curtain down on an illustrious six-year career with South African powerhouse Mamelodi Sundowns, where he cemented his reputation as one of Africa's deadliest finishers.
Shalulile arrives at Jangwan Street with an outstanding record of 136 goals in all competitions for Sundowns, helping the club dominate South African football while also conquering the continent.
During his spell, he won the CAF Champions League, the African Football League and five South African Premiership titles, establishing himself as one of the most successful strikers in the club's history.
The 33-year-old also scored 20 goals in the CAF Champions League and finished his time in South Africa just eight goals shy of reaching the milestone of 100 league goals in the Premiership, a testament to his remarkable consistency and clinical finishing.
His arrival also marks a reunion with Yanga head coach Manqoba Mngqithi, under whom he flourished at Sundowns. Mngqithi, then a key member of the club's technical bench, played an instrumental role in Shalulile's development into one of the continent's most feared goalscorers.
The opportunity to work with Mngqithi again is understood to have been one of the major factors behind Shalulile's decision to join Yanga.
The South African coach is convinced the striker's experience, goal-scoring instinct, and understanding of his tactical philosophy will be invaluable as the club targets a fifth consecutive Mainland Tanzania Premier League title and a strong campaign in the CAF Champions League.
Shalulile's signing further underlines Yanga's ambition to strengthen every department as they prepare for another demanding domestic and continental season.
His pedigree and winning mentality are expected to add a new dimension to the club's attacking options and increase competition for places.
Before unveiling the Namibian, Yanga had already signed Senegalese-born French striker Cheikh Ibrahima Touré from Saudi Arabian side Al Jabalain FC, Comoros international defender Housseine Zakouani from Al Zulfi of Saudi Arabia and Zambian attacker Albert Kangwanda from Red Arrows.
Shalulile becomes Yanga's latest addition in an ambitious recruitment drive that has now seen the club unveil 10 new players.
The arrivals also include six Tanzanian signings: Juma Issa Abushiri from Fountain Gate, Hussein Mihambo, Abdulnasir Muhamed, Mohamed Mussa and Erick Mwijage from Mashujaa, as well as Suleiman Mbarouk from JKU.
