The 32-year-old forward has agreed a two-year contract with the Jangwani Street club, with reports indicating a substantial sign-on fee. He becomes one of the biggest African transfers of the current window as Yanga strengthen their attack for the new NBC Premier League season and the CAF Champions League.
Shalulile leaves Chloorkop as one of the most successful strikers in recent Mamelodi Sundowns history. Across all competitions he scored 136 goals, helping the Brazilians secure multiple Betway Premiership titles, domestic cups and the CAF Champions League.
The move also reunites him with head coach Manqoba Mngqithi, who worked with the Namibia captain during highly successful years at Sundowns. That existing relationship is widely viewed as a key factor in Shalulile choosing Yanga over interest from other clubs in South Africa, Egypt, the Gulf and local rivals Simba SC.
Yanga moved quickly to secure the experienced forward after the departure of striker Prince Dube. Shalulile is expected to lead the line as the Tanzanian champions aim to defend their domestic title and mount a strong continental challenge.
The Namibia international and national team captain arrives with a reputation for intelligent movement, relentless pressing and clinical finishing. His arrival marks a significant statement of ambition from one of East Africa’s biggest clubs.
