Midway through the 2019–20 season, the media speculated that Shalulile was *Club domestic league appearances and goals,

performance in front of the goal. And indeed he finished the season as joint top
goalscorer alongside Orlando Pirates' Gabadinho Mhango. At the end of that same 2019–20 season, the player and both
Highlands Park F.C and Mamelodi Sundowns F.C confirmed that he has signed for the latter club. He adapted fairly quick as he
scored 4 goals in 7 league appearances. Shalulile is the second Namibian player to join Mamelodi Sundowns after Ronnie 'The
Magnet' Fillemon Kanalelo, who played for the Brazilians between 1997 and 2005. In his maiden season at Masandawana,
Shalulile does not seem to be struggling with proving his worth to the club. His commitment in attack, defence and link up play
with his teammates show exactly why Sundowns decided to sign him.

On 22 April 2023 against CR Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League quarter finals, Shalulile became the latest player to join
the list of prominent players who have managed to bag 100 goals or more in the Premier Soccer League, joining the likes of
Siyabonga Nomvethe, Collins Mbesuma and Masandawana’s all-time top goal scorer, Daniel Mudau.
