Peter Shalulile (born 23 October 1993) is a Namibian professional footballer who plays as a striker for South African Premiership club Mamelodi Sundowns and captains the Namibia national team. He is regarded as one of the best strikers to play in the South Africa top flight division.
Peter is a product of Tura Magic FC in Namibia a club he joined when they were campaigning in the NFA Khomas second division and helped gain promotion in the 2011âÂÂ2012 season. He made his way up from the U-20 to the Senior Namibia National Soccer Team and scored crucial goals en route to their first ever trophy which was the COSAFA Cup in 2015.
He joined National First Division club Highlands Park after an impressive showing at the COSAFA Cup in 2015, and helped them gain promotion, scoring two crucial goals in the playoff encounter against Mbombela at the Makhulong Stadium in June 2016.
Midway through the 2019âÂÂ20 season, the media speculated that Shalulile was being hunted by three of South Africa's biggest clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, due to his goalscoring abilities. He finished the season as joint top goalscorer alongside Orlando Pirates' Gabadinho Mhango.
Shalulile signed for Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of the season. He scored 4 goals in his first 7 league appearances. Shalulile is the third Namibian player to join Mamelodi Sundowns after Ronnie 'The Magnet' Fillemon Kanalelo, who played for Sundowns between 1997 and 2005 and left winger Mohale Naruseb.
