The favourite for the PSL’s Player of the Season‚ Player’s Player of the Season (voted by fellow players) and Footballer of the Season (across all competitions) is Mamelodi Sundowns forward and joint-PSL top scorer Percy Tau.

Among other candidates are Maritzburg United’s exciting 21-year-old midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu‚ who was crucial in the team reaching an all-time high fourth place; Sundowns’ skilled‚ underrated winger Themba Zwane and Orlando Pirates’ consistently destructive Luvuyo Memela.

Kaizer Chiefs’ Itumeleng Khune‚ Sundowns’ Denis Onyango and Maritzburg’s Richard Ofori appear to be front-runners for goalkeeper of the season.

Downs captain Hlompho Kekana's strike from inside his half against Pirates in November‚ and Khama Billiat's volley after a spectacular run and overhead assist by Tau against Cape Town City in February‚ could be front-runners for Goal of the Season‚ which is voted by the public.
