‘SAVIOLA’ TOP SCORER, E12 000 RICHER
SITEKI – Stand up for MTN Premier League sharp shooter, Sandile ‘Saviola’ Gamedze!
The Young Buffaloes and Sihlangu marksman’s 26-goal tally was unmatched despite firing blanks in the goalless draw with champions Royal Leopard yesterday. He is now E12 000 richer.
Gamedze dethroned team Phiwayinkosi ‘Silwabelwabe’ Dlamini who had scored 23 goals last season. This may be an individual award, but the prolific forward attributed his achievement to teamwork, the support of the technical team and motivation from management. “We were off to a bad start, but managed to restore our status after surfacing from the log bottom to the top four. At first, it was not about the title but scoring to help my team return to their winning ways.

“The award was a collective effort through the assistance of my team, the technical bench and motivation from the management. I ‘m happy for winning this award and my wish is to do better next season and hopefully retain my title,” Gamedze said. Reacting to their game, which ended in a goalless draw against sworn rivals ‘Ingwemabalabala’, Gamedze acknowledged their missed opportunities despite dominating the game. “We had a good approach to the game and dominated our opponents who were a bit shaky, but we were unfortunate at goal. Going forward, we need to fix the final third to improve our scoring chances,” he said. Meanwhile, Mbabane Highlanders’ captain Sabelo ‘Sikhali’ Ndzinisa was the closest challenger of the title, ending the season with a total of 23 goals, followed by Manzini Sea Birds Captain Muzi Tsabedze and Royal Leopard’s Junior Magagula who both netted 18 goals.
