PSL Awards nominations unveiled, Jali, Shalulile and Sundowns dominate

It came as no surprise that Mamelodi Sundowns and Andile Jali appeared a number of times on the nomination list of the 2021/22 PSL Season Awards.

Jali who’s out of favour when it comes to Bafana Bafana has been on everyone’s lips this season considering his form. He’s one of the players who have been tipped by many to grab the Player of the Season Award.

Masandawana’s striker Peter Shalulile has scored 22 goals in the league, doing the unusual. It’s evidence of the Pretoria giants’ dominance in the league that has led to their co-coaches Manqoba Mnqithi and Rhulani Mokwena being nominated for the coach of the season award.

Last year, Mnqithi and Mokwena were also nominated but Benni McCarthy won the award after leading Usuthu to finish as runners-up and qualifying for CAF Champions League spot.

The Player’s Player of the Season award is being contested by all three Downs players – Shalulile, Themba Zwane, and Jali. Sundowns are on the verge of completing a treble with the Nedbank Cup final to take place on 28 May.
