Tanzanian giants Young Africans SC have officially completed the signing of prolific Namibian striker Peter Shalulile on a free transfer following his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns. The 32-year-old has signed a two-year deal, reuniting with former Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi as Yanga strengthen their squad for the 2026/27 season.
Shalulile leaves South Africa as one of the greatest forwards in Premier Soccer League history. During his glittering spell with Mamelodi Sundowns, he became the PSL’s all-time leading scorer with 136 goals, won five league titles, claimed three Golden Boot awards, and lifted the CAF Champions League trophy.
His arrival is a major statement of intent from Young Africans, who are aiming to defend their Tanzanian Premier League crown and mount a strong challenge in the CAF Champions League. Shalulile’s experience, clinical finishing, and winning mentality are expected to add significant firepower to Mngqithi’s attacking setup.
The move also ends weeks of speculation linking the Namibian international with several clubs across Africa, with Yanga ultimately securing one of the continent’s most sought-after free agents.
