Tholo Thabang Matuludi (born 14 January 1999) is a South African soccer player who plays as a right back for Polokwane City in the Premier Soccer League.

Playing for Polokwane City in the National First Division, the team won promotion to the 2023-24 South African Premier Division where Matuludi made his first-tier debut. By the 2024 winter transfer window, Matuludi had stood out as a key player for Polokwane City. Media reported interest in the player, allegedly from Stellenbosch FC and Cape Town City.[1] No move happened, but in the summer window, Orlando Pirates was added to the discussion.[2] [3]

He was called up for South Africa for the 2024 COSAFA Cup,[4] where he made his international debut against Mozambique. He played every minute of the competition until South Africa was knocked out.[2]
