Khuliso Mudau has been rewarded with a lucrative new contract at Mamelodi Sundowns, elevating him into the club’s bracket of highest earners—a fitting recognition for his transformation from a promising signing to a cornerstone player.
Siya sources indicate that while exact figures remain undisclosed, the 30-year-old’s fresh terms reflect his status as one of the Brazilians’ most vital performers. This marks a dramatic rise for a player who, upon joining from Black Leopards in 2020, was not seen as a marquee acquisition but as a prospect for the future.
Fast forward to 2026, Mudau has become indispensable, making 170 appearances, winning eight trophies—including five league titles—and establishing himself as a key figure for both Sundowns and Bafana Bafana.
The new deal also puts to bed recent speculation linking him with a move to Orlando Pirates. Addressing the rumours directly, Mudau stated:
“No, I found out about that. I think someone, one of my friends sent me something like that, saying I’m going to Orlando Pirates. I don’t even know anything. I’m focused on Mamelodi Sundowns. I’m 100% here. My heart is here. I want to achieve things with the team.”
The club and player confirmed the contract was actually secured last year, reinforcing his long-term commitment and deserved place among Sundowns’ elite earners.
