Mokobodi, Zwane and Mokoena Sweep Betway Premiership Awards
Thapelo Mokobodi, Arthur Zwane and Teboho Mokoena have won the Betway Premiership monthly awards for September and October, and two of them are first-time winners.
The new Pirates midfield sensation took the top individual award, the Player of the Month, after a brilliant run of form. He provided five assists, helped the Buccaneers to five wins and led them to second place on the log as they defend their title.
He beat a closely contested field that included AmaZulu duo Thandolwethu Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Radebe, both in impressive form.
Zwane also oversaw five victories, lifting Usuthu to third place on the table and has been named Coach of the Month. He beat strong competition from Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who won the award in August, and Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso, whose side remain top of the log.
It is the first monthly award for both Mokobodi and Zwane.
Mokoena pipped the Goal of the Month accolade. The Sundowns midfielder won with a curling strike from the edge of the box against Golden Arrows. He beat Vincent Pule’s free kick against Marumo Gallants and Durban City midfielder Luphumlo Sifumba’s free kick against Milford FC.
In celebration of 30 years of the PSL, Betway’s S’bonise & Win initiative continues to reward fans. A total of 49 fans holding valid Betway accounts have won R30,000 each so far for being the best-dressed supporters at televised home matches, with more to come.
