The 31-year-old eight-time Olympic gold medalist and 100m and 200m world record holder is visiting the country as part of an Athletics South Africa development scheme.
The 2016 African champions announced Bolt's arrival on their Twitter account and also posted a video of the Jamaican in training with the squad.
Bolt, who retired from athletics after August's world championships in London, is famously a Manchester United fan and has often spoken of his desire to play football.
"Good thing is he's a free agent! And he can play in a few positions," Sundowns manager Pitso Mosiname, cheekily said.
Midfielder Percy Tau was thrilled to train alongside Bolt.
"Usain, thank you for coming down today, it was an honor to play with you, I saw you even managed to score a goal," he said.
