Alulutho Tshwakweni joins the Vodacom Bulls

The Vodacom Bulls have signed Alulutho Tshakweni on an initial two-year deal.

Tshakweni, a loose head prop, is a capped junior Springbok who has represented Border at under-18 Academy Week and Craven Week. Later in his senior career, he played in the Pro14 and the EPCR Challenge Cup.

The 25-year-old Hudson Park High alumni is a Currie Cup winner and no stranger to the capital. He had a brief loan spell with the Vodacom Bulls under-21 side back in 2018 and now returns to join the herd permanently until July 2026.

“This is a huge privilege and honour for me to be here. I cannot wait to get to share what I have to offer with everyone,”

“This club presents a wonderful opportunity for me to get experience in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and the Investec Champions Cup, both international competitions that will help me grow and become a better player over and above the most important competition in South Africa, the Currie Cup,”

“This is an exciting move for me and I cannot wait to get started.”
