Mamelodi Sundowns superstars dominate nomination lists for Premier Soccer League's upcoming annual awards

It’s that time of the year again when the Premier Soccer League (PSL) honours its stars of the past season.

The PSL has announced its official nominees for the prestigious awards today and fans are eager to see which stars walk away with the big prizes.

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.

Mamelodi Sundowns' Andile Jali makes history as the only player to win 4 domestic trebles in South Africa

There’s no denying that Andile Jali is one of the best footballers in South Africa.

The 32-year-old Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder is continuing to produce impressive performances with the Brazilians and make history.

Jali is the only player, though, in South African football history, to be involved in all four trebles. Jali was a part of the legendary Pirates team and now is part of the equally legendary Mamelodi Sundowns side.
