Hélder Pelembe (born 20 September 1987) is a Mozambican footballer who plays for Orlando Pirates in the South African Premier Soccer League as a forward.

Club career

After playing two years apiece in his country with Clube Ferroviário de Nampula and Clube de Desportos do Maxaquene, in June 2010, Pelembe signed with Portimonense Sporting Clube in Portugal, with the Algarve club freshly returned to the top division.[1] He made his debut in the competition on 13 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–3 home loss against S.C. Braga.

After Portimonense's immediate relegation - with the player contributing with no goals, in only three starts - Pelembe returned to Mozambique and Maxaquene.

In December 2013 Pelembe joined South African side Orlando Pirates on a three-year contract.[2]
