Elias Pelembe Age
He was born on the 13th of November 1983 in Maputo, Mozambique. As of 2020, he is 37 years old.
Club career
Domingues, as he is nicknamed, has been a revelation since coming to South Africa in 2007 from Desportivo Maputo. He was undoubtedly Supersport United’s most influential player when they won the 2007–08 Premier Soccer League and was subsequently voted PSL Player of the Season.
During the summer of 2009, he was rumoured to be closing in on a move to one of Europe’s bigger leagues as he had caught the eye of Tottenham Hotspur scouts following a string of impressive performers for club and the national team.

According to his coach, Gavin Hunt, Domingues was instrumental in that game. The win also meant he is now one of the very few players to have won the Premier Soccer League title 4 times (with 3 different clubs), having also won 2 with Supersport United in 2007–08 Premier Soccer League and 2008–09 Premier Soccer League and 1 with Mamelodi Sundowns) in 2013–14 Premier Soccer League.
Furthermore, the win also meant he successfully completed a League and Cup double, since Bidvest Wits also won the MTN 8 title earlier in the season, with a 3-0 win over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Mbombela Stadium, on 1 October 2016.
