Wearing the colours of Jomo Cosmos from 1996[5] to 2001,[6] Tualibidane hit in 9 goals in 30 appearances before going to Cyprus in 1997.[5] But, in 1999, Manning Rangers cast aspersions on Tualibudane and Zimbabwean Morgan Nkathazo, insisting that they were in South Africa illegally and did not have possess work permits.[7] This proved to be false[7] and the Mozambican went on to strike 25 goals in 62 starts after returning from Cyprus,[5] including a hat-trick as Cosmos bettered Free State Stars 3-1 in 2000[8] and a brace in a 3-1 dispatching of Hellenic the same year.[9]
Turning out for Đà Nẵng F.C. of the Vietnamese V.League 1,[10][11] the retiree hit 3 goals within 15 minutes upon recovering form injury in 2003 as they dispatched Hà Nội ACB 4-1,[12] scoring 6 goals by the seventh round of the 2004 V-League.[13] However, he was temporarily dropped from the squad for underperformance in 2005[14] and was unable to participate in the 2006 AFC Champions League clash at home to Dalian swing to intestinal problems.[15]
