Cuthbert Malajila (3 October 1985 in Eiffel Flats, Mashonaland West) is a Zimbabwean footballer who plays as a forward for South African Premier Soccer League side Mamelodi Sundowns.

Career

He started at Chapungu United[2] before moving in 2006 to Highlanders and then to Dynamos Harare.

While playing for Highlanders, he scored a hat-trick in a match against Masvingo, with Highlanders winning the match 4–0.[3] He won the Golden Boot in the top division of Zimbabwean football in 2007.[4]

Malajila had a trial at Belgian club Cercle Brugge, but it ended with the club declining to offer him a contract.[5] He returned to Zimbabwe and to Dynamos afterward, and stated that his focus would be on winning the Golden Boot and in helping his club.[6] He stated that his long-term dream was still on earning a transfer abroad.

The striker left in summer 2010 his native Zimbabwe and signed in August 2010 a professional contract of 3 years with the Tunisian side Club Africain.[7]

Cuthbert Malajila has become the first Zimbabwean to play professional football in Libya after signing for First Division side Al Akhdar on a six-month loan. [8]

22 January 2012, he completed his move to South African Premiership side Maritzburg United on Friday after the two parties agreed on a transfer fee for the player.[9]

International career

He has also made two appearances for the Zimbabwe national football team, both as a substitute.[10] He scored in one of those appearances.
