It’s no surprise that Mamelodi Sundowns are best represented among the nominees with their coaches and players in the running for some of the categories. Sundowns dominated the DStv Premiership this season, The South African reported.

The full list of nominees in each category can be found on the PSL’s official Twitter account. The organisation also explained how voting in each category would work.

The goal of the season is the only category that the fans vote for and voting will be conducted at the end of the season when all the fixtures have been concluded.

The winner of each goal of the month competition will be entered into the goal of the season category.

Ironically, Andile Jali has been nominated in a few categories. The Sundowns captain has been excluded by Hugo Broos in the Bafana but proved that he still has what it takes to perform at a high level for his club.

Mamelodi Sundowns celebrate league title win with fans, joyous scenes spotted inside Loftus Versveld yesterday

Mamelodi Sundowns fans were in fine voice last night as they celebrated their team’s title-clinching game. Sundowns wrapped up their fifth consecutive league title with four games to go and did it in front of their home supporters.

Masandawana needed a point to achieve the feat and got that through a goalless draw against Cape Town City, Sport24 reported. Eric Tinkler’s side travelled to the Loftus Versveld Stadium looking to spoil the party, but there was no keeping Sundowns fans quiet.

As time ticked down closer to the final whistle, Sundowns fans became more vocal, knowing that their team was one step closer to extending their record. When the final whistle eventually sounded, fans broke out into rapturous celebrations.
