Mokobodi, Zwane scoop Betway Premiership monthly awards

Orlando Pirates’ Thapelo Mokobodi and AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane have won the Betway Premiership monthly awards for September and October, with Teboho Mokoena taking goal of the month.

Player of the month – Thapelo Mokobodi (Orlando Pirates)

Mokobodi’s fine start at Orlando Pirates has been rewarded, with the midfielder named Betway Premiership Player of the Month for September and October.

Mokobodi made five assists over the period as Pirates won five games and moved into second place, a point behind Mamelodi Sundowns, in their title defence.

He saw off strong competition from AmaZulu pair Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Radebe to win the vote, which was decided by a panel of PSL media-accredited judges.

Coach of the month – Arthur Zwane (AmaZulu)

AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane took the Coach of the Month award after guiding Usuthu to five wins, which lifted the KwaZulu-Natal side to third.

He beat Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who won the award in August, and Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso, whose side lead the log.

It’s the first Betway Premiership monthly award for both Mokobodi and Zwane.

Goal of the month – Teboho Mokoena (Mamelodi Sundowns)

Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena won Goal of the Month for his curling effort from the edge of the box against Golden Arrows.

Vincent Pule’s free-kick against Marumo Gallants and Luphumlo Sifumba’s free-kick against Milford were also in the running.

The awards come at a good time for Mokoena, who is in Pitso Mosimane’s Bafana Bafana squad for next week’s AFCON qualifiers against Kenya.
