The Premier Soccer League has officially announced the first recipients of the Betway Premiership Monthly Awards for August, with Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy, and Sekhukhune United recognised for their impressive performances.
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Puso Dithejane, who is now in the books of TS Galaxy, scooped the Player of the Month following a resounding performance in the first five league matches, where he netted three goals and provided two assists.
“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 Chiefs goalkeeper, Brandon Petersen, as well as Sekhukhune’s Keletso Makgalwa,” reads a statement by PSL.
Orlando Pirates’ Kamogelo Sebelebele has made an impressive start to life with the Sea Robbers, netting three goals in seven matches across all competitions.
His stunning long-range effort against Stellenbosch secured maximum points for his side and earned him the Goal of the Month award.
“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,” PSL wrote.
Tinkler has steered Sekhukhune United to the summit of the log, winning four matches and drawing one, while still maintaining an unbeaten record.
“Eric Tinkler was voted Betway Premiership Coach of the Month after guiding Sekhukhune United FC to an outstanding start to the season.
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,” said PSL.
