LOBAMBA – Hard work pays off!
This adage proves true for Royal Leopard attacking midfielder Junior ‘Shisa
Gesi’ Magagula and Malanti Chiefs player Sibonelo Myaba, who are the best
players for September in the MTN League in their respective leagues. Junior, who
is fresh from firing a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Illovo, was the past
month’s best player in the MTN Premier League. The Malanti Chiefs star starred
in the National First Division, in the period under review. The winners were
announced by Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) Brand and Marketing Manager
Lindokuhle Mthupha and PLE Awards Committee Member Nhlanhla ‘Madida’ Mabuza
at the Eswatini Football Association Technical Centre in Lobamba, yesterday.
Mthupha expressed gratitude to the sponsor for encouraging players with such an
award.
“It is truly motivating to the players knowing they are not just playing for
fun. Gratitude goes to Head Coach Zdravko Logarusic for allowing Magagula to be
in attendance,” she said. Magagula won E6 000 and a trophy for shining the
brightest in the Premier League. “Other players should continue working hard
so they can be awarded as well. Gratitude goes to my teammates who played a role
in ensuring I bagged this award,” said Magagula, who is on five goals, this
season.Myaba, on the other hand, earned E2 000 for his exceptional display in
the country’s football second-tier. He had earlier been ruled out, due to an
injury for over four months before returning to shine. “I am truly happy to
win an award having been off the pitch for months. I’m dedicating my trophy to
Given Lukhele. He is my former teammate and friend,” he said. Lukhele joined
Mbabane Swallows from Malanti. He is currently hospitalised after suffering a
terrible injury in a car crash.
