Chiefs awards: Stars of the future recognised

There is always interest in who the next generation of stars could be at Kaizer Chiefs, with the club recently handing out its youth

 

Kaizer Chiefs held their annual Youth Development Academy awards ceremony at the Naturena Village on Saturday 3 December, as the club recognised the most outstanding individual contributions in what has been a very successful campaign at age-group level for Amakhosi in the Gauteng Development League (GDL).

Beginning with the Under-13s, Tashiel Rugunanan’s sustained excellence was unanimously acknowledged as he won both the Player-of-the-Season and Players’-Player-of-the-Season awards, while Ntokozo Hlophe’s 22 goals in 25 games earned him the Top Goal Scorer prize.

Special recognition was reserved for coach, Jimmy Jambo, for guiding the team to a successful defence of their GDL Under-13 title, with an exceptional record of winning 15 out of their 17 league matches.

At Under-15 level, Neo Bohloko bagged the Top Goal Scorer and Player-of-the- Season awards for his return of 21 goals in 24 games. Imaad Hendricks, was chosen as the Players’-Player-of-the-Season by his teammates

The Under-17 team also brought glory to the Club by lifting the inaugural GDL Under-17 Youth Cup, winning all of their games in the process; an astonishing achievement for which coach, Tshidiso Letsholonyane, deservedly received special recognition.

The Top Goal Scorer award was shared jointly between Mthokozisi Maseko and Matala Makhubo, who each netted an impressive 20 goals in their 27 matches.

Ofentse Kgosana won the Player-of-the-Season award and Matala Makhubo took the honour of Players’-Player-of-the-Season.

For becoming the first Kaizer Chiefs team ever to win the Engen Knockout Challenge for the Gauteng region, and then going one better to taste victory over all the other provincial winners in the national Engen Champ of Champs, high praise was bestowed upon coaches, Ace Khuse and David Mathebula, in acknowledgement of their invaluable contribution to the Chiefs Under-19 team’s historic campaign.

The Top Goal Scorer title went to Njabulo Hlongwane, who was joined by fellow award winners, Player-of-the-Season, Xolani Cossa and Players’-Player-of-the-Season, Jeremiah Thanyane.

Not to be left out, there were two prizes for goalkeepers, with Takalani Mazhamba and Mpho Moletsane receiving the Junior and Senior Goalkeeper-of-the-Season awards respectively.
