Rodney Lulamile Malamba (born 11 March 1966 in Langa, Cape Town, Cape Province)[1] is a former South African first-class cricketer who played for Natal from 1988 to 1991.

Malamba was a right-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed tail-end batsman.[2] His best first-class bowling figures were 3 for 64 and 4 for 21 for Natal B against Northern Transvaal in 1991–92.[3]

He was the first black cricketer to play in the Currie Cup. His father, Ben Malamba, was an all-rounder who was one of the leading black cricketers of the apartheid era in South Africa.[4]

He runs a cricket academy in Durban.[5] In February 2020, he was named in South Africa's squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa.[6][7] However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.[8]
