Tribute To A Legend: Daniel ‘Mambush’ Mudau
Born and bred in the famous Mamelodi township, the stocky Daniel ‘Mambush’ Mudau spent his entire topflight career at one club – one he still serves even today.
During his heyday, Mudau was as a fearless striker for Mamelodi Sundowns and the national team Bafana Bafana, and the fact that he remains the club’s all-time record goalscorer is evidence of his prowess.
No one has rattled the net more than ‘Mambush’ with his 110 goals for the Brazilians and helped them to three league titles in the Premier Soccer League era under the late Ted Dumitru (two championships) and Frenchman Paul Dolezar.
It’s a conversion rate that has allowed him to remain one of only five players in PSL history to score a 100 goals or more, alongside the likes of Siyabonga Nomvethe, Mabhuti Khenyeza Manuel ‘Tico-Tico’ Bucuane and Collins Mbesuma. But most significantly, Mudau was the first player to reach that milestone (add the years before the PSL era in 1996, he scored more).
‘Mambush’ quite literally led from the front as a captain who was not only vocal

Mambush wants new crop of players to break his record
“The questions around this day always come up and I never stop apologising. I respect Motlohi a lot. It was a very stressful time. It was the heat of the moment; I am still apologetic about that day to his children, family, both our fans and everyone who knows him. This experience humbled me and I will never stop saying how sorry I am,” said Mudau.
“Right now, we have a good relationship, and we communicate a lot on the phone. He knows that I regret slapping him like that.” .
Years after hanging up his boots, the 55-year-old is still by far the top goal-scorer at Downs, boasting 155 goals throughout his lengthy tenure at the club.
Despite his great experience and leaderships skills, Mudau says he will never become a coach.
“You know, even the late Ted Dumitru, who was a coach at Sundowns, encouraged me to take up coaching, but I could not bring myself to go that direction because I am very aware of the kind of person I am. I won’t do it because I realised that I get angry quite fast,” he said.&
