The Premier Soccer League Awards take place on Sunday. Mamelodi Sundowns have nominees in both the footballer of the season and coach of the season categories. The team’s members are favourites for both prizes.

players and coaches dominate the season-ending Premier Soccer League Awards is no surprise.

One of the first names on the team sheet when fit, Shalulile bagged 23 league goals this season. He added five assists to that impressive goal haul. His teammates in defence were grateful to him numerous times when he slotted in to cover for them when they were caught out of position. The offensive players were grateful to him on many occasions for winning the ball back at key moments and sparking counterattacks.

Striker Letsoalo has been a vital cog in Maduka’s clockwork-like machine. The 29-year-old has netted 15 goals to date — including a brace as Royal famously walloped Kaizer Chiefs 4-1 early on in the 2021/2022 season. Only Shalulile has more league goals than Letsoalo this season. The fact they also have the MTN8 trophy in the bag, with the chance of also winning the Nedbank Cup this weekend, places them at a great advantage to secure the accolade.
