Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Green Mamba\u2019 striker Sabelo \u2018Sikhali\u2019 Ndzinisa is set to surrender the 2021\/22 MTN Premier League Player of the Season gong he won last season.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Correctional Services side striker, who scored 23 league goals last season, beat Royal Leopard playmaker Junior Magagula and goal-poacher Sandile \u2018Saviola\u2019 Gamedze to Eswatini football\u2019s biggest individual prize. This season, \u2018Sikhali\u2019 has not won any of the player of the month awards, which rules the former Mbombela United player out of the race if he fails to win the last player of the month, which will be for the month of May.<\/p>\n

According to the rules and regulations, a player to be considered for the player of the year award, should win at least one player of the month accolade. The first time \u2018Sikhali\u2019 won the award which carries a E15 000 cash prize was in his first season in top flight football, which was during the 2011\/12 season. Meanwhile, Young Buffaloes Bongwa \u2018Owa\u2019 Matsebula was the first recipient of the player of the month, winning the gong for the month of October after helping Buffaloes stay in contention for the E100 000 first round leaders incentives, which the army side later won after finishing the first round on top. Other players that have won the award include, among others, Mbabane Swallows\u2019 trio of Felix Badenhorst, Kingsley Kwayki and recently Kwakhe Tfwala and Green Mamba\u2019s Njabulo Tfwala and fellow teammate in Mxolisi \u2018Kudus\u2019 Mkhonto, who were both instrumental in making sure that their side stayed in the hunt for the league title.<\/p>\n
