Elias Gaspar Pelembe, also known simply as Domingues, (born November 13, 1983 in Maputo) is a Mozambican footballer who currently plays for Bidvest Wits in the South African Premier Soccer League and Mozambique. His position is midfielder.
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 national team. Eventually he was bought by big-spenders Mamelodi Sundowns where he was handed a substantial wage.
International career
He is also an influential member of his country's national team, the Black Mambas.
