Ex-Chiefs star beats Petersen to Player of the Month Award! Pirates star Sebelebele feted as well

The Premier Soccer League management has revealed the winners of August in the ongoing campaign.

The season kicked off on August 2 with the MTN8 quarter final, before the league kicked off a couple of days later.

The monthly awards are meant to motivate top-tier coaches and players who have performed exceptionally well in that respective month.

Eric Tinkler – Coach of the Month

“Eric Tinkler was voted Betway Premiership Coach of the Month after guiding Sekhukhune United FC to an outstanding start to the season,” the organisers said in a statement.

“Under his leadership, the team collected 13 points from their opening five fixtures, securing victories against Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy, Orbit College, and Durban City. Babina Noko currently sits at the summit of the Betway Premiership table.”

Puso Dithejane – Player of the Month

“[Former Kaizer Chiefs Academy player] Puso Dithejane was named the Betway Premiership Player of the Month after a string of standout performances for TS Galaxy,” they added.

“Dithejane played a pivotal role in Galaxy’s impressive run, contributing three goals and two assists in five matches. His efforts included this season’s first hat-trick against Chippa United and a Man of the Match display, edging out strong competition from Kaizer Chief goalkeeper, Brandon Petersen as well as Sekhukhune’s Keletso Makgalwa.”

Kamogelo Sebelebele – Goal of the Month

Former TS Galaxy attacker Kamogelp Sebelebele has started the season at Bucs quite well, and has been rewarded for scoring a beautiful goal.

“The Betway Premiership Goal of the Month went to Kamogelo Sebelebele for his powerful strike against Stellenbosch FC, which delivered Orlando Pirates’ first win of the season,” they concluded.
