SMISO MSOMI

FOOTBALLER of the Season: Lucas Ribeiro Costa (Mamelodi Sundowns)

Taking over mid-season is tough. Going unbeaten while doing it is extraordinary.

Betway Premiership Young Player of the Season: Relebohile Mofokeng (Orlando Pirates)

Mofokeng didn’t just show promise — he performed.

MTN8 Last Man Standing: Deon Hotto (Orlando Pirates)

Hotto was pivotal in Pirates lifting the MTN8.
