Early life

Career
[edit | edit source]Mudau played club football for Ratanang Maholosiane and Mamelodi Sundowns; he also earned sixteen caps for the South African national side between 1993 and 2000, scoring 3 goals.[2]
He is the all-time top goal scorer for the Mamelodi Sundowns.[3]
Mudau scored one of the goals in Sundowns' losing effort in the 1994 BP Top 8 final.[4]
Mudau was also known for an incident in the aftermath of Sundown's penalty shootout loss to Kaizer Chiefs in the 2001 BP Top 8 final. Mudau, who had scored both Sundown's goals, but was substituted shortly before Chief's last-minute equaliser, struck teammate Charles Motlohi, believing he had refused to take a crucial penalty. Mudau subsequently apologised.[5]
