He hails from Louis Trichardt in Limpopo Province.[1] He played for Joe's Express in the SAFA Second Division.[2][3] In 2015 he moved on to Baroka. He helped the team win the 2015–16 National First Division and reached the semi-finals of the 2015–16 Nedbank Cup. He was named the 2015–16 Nedbank Cup Young Player of the Year.[4][1] He made his first-tier debut in the 2016–17 South African Premier Division[5] before joining Polokwane City in 2017.[4] In October 2017 he scored a long-range free-kick for Polokwane City; scoring was rare for Ravhuhali, and in addition he received the Goal of the Month award.[6]

Ravhuhali left Polokwane City in 2019. He reportedly trained with Highlands Park and was wanted by Black Leopards, but signed for SuperSport United in August on a free transfer.[4][7] The time at SuperSport United was a failure. Following a five-month injury he could not battle his way into the squad, and did not play a single game. In 2020, Ravhuhali moved on to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) and started getting playing time.[8][9] The first season proved successful as TTM won the 2020–21 Nedbank Cup, with Ravhuhali starting the cup final.[10] This entailed qualifying for CAF competition, but the team also changed its identity to Marumo Gallants.
