Luzuko Vulindlu (born 14 November 1987) is a South African professional rugby union player who last played for the Southern Kings in the Pro14.
In 2008, Vulindlu made his first class debut for the Sharks' Vodacom Cup team – then called the Natal Wildebeest – by starting as the inside centre in a 32–7 victory over the Griffons in Welkom.
He started their defeat to Western Province[14] and came on as a replacement against the Boland Cavaliers a week later in a 46–10 win,[15] but made just one more appearance in a 34–20 victory over the Leopards.
[16] In 2011, Vulindlu made just one appearance for the Sharks XV during the 2011 Vodacom Cup competition, coming on as a replacement in their 67–26 victory over the Falcons in Margate.
Vulindlu played more regularly for the Kimberley-based side in the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition; after three appearances off the bench – the second of which saw him score two tries in a 124–5 victory over the Limpopo Blue Bulls in Groblersdal[24] – he started their matches against the Golden Lions,[25] Leopards XV[26] and the Falcons[27] during the regular season to help Griquas finish in third position on the Northern Section log to qualify for the play-off quarter finals.
He started their quarter final match against Western Province, where a 21–13 victory from the team from Cape Town promptly ended Griquas involvement in the competition.
[28] After a loan spell at the SWD Eagles, he made one more appearance for Griquas, starting their 28–35 defeat to the Golden Lions in their final match of the season[29] to finish bottom of the log.
Vulindlu joined George-based side SWD Eagles on loan from Griquas during the 2013 Currie Cup First Division season.
He featured in their final four matches of the regular season of the competition, helping them to finish in fourth spot and qualify for the semi-finals.
[37] The SWD Eagles had a poor season, finishing bottom of the log with just one victory to their name to qualify for the 2015 Currie Cup First Division.
