Luvuyo Memela (born 18 September 1987 in Cape Town) is a South African professional soccer player.[3] [4]
Memela made his international debut for South Africa in October 2015, playing home and away against Angola. In August 2022, he played during the 2022 African Nations Championship qualification, again facing Angola.
After being released from Chippa United in 2024, Memela found himself without a club. He claimed that South African soccer clubs were age discriminating.[5]
