The exciting winger played 29 games in the just ended 2022/23 season with a return of seven goal contributions (three goals and four assists).
Pelembe has now agreed to join Mozambican champions UD Songo in a deal that makes him the highest earner in the league.
His earnings will come with the comforts of accommodation, food, car, flights and winning bonuses all provided as extras.
The contract was finalised after the recent FIFA break during which Pelembe led Mozambique to AFCON qualification and he has now flown to Tete from Maputo to join his teammates.
UD Songo will play in the 2023/24 Champions League.
Pelembe joins UD Songo along with Reginaldo Faife who was playing in Albania.
Faife has been in Europe for a decade and will link up with former Kaizer Chiefs trialist Amansio Joao Pita 'Neymar' Canhembe who has been at UD Songo since the beginning of the year.
Pelembe turns 40 on November 13 and has recently captained Mozambique to AFCON qualification.
After having been in the squad the last time Mozambique qualified for the finals in 2010, Pelembe will now head off to Ivory Coast having already turned 40.
The 2023 tournament will be played from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
