Siyanda Ndlovu and Abdeslam Ouaddou Clinch September-October Betway Premiership Awards

Golden Arrows midfielder Siyanda Ndlovu and Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou have been named Betway Premiership Monthly Awards winners for September and October, marking their first-ever recognition in the league. The winners were selected by an independent judging panel of PSL-accredited journalists and broadcasters.

Ouaddou earned the Betway Premiership Coach of the Month award after guiding Pirates to a flawless run during the two months. Under the former Moroccan international, the Buccaneers secured three wins from three matches, improving their position on the table. His tactical approach has been effective both offensively and defensively, with all three victories coming without conceding a goal.

Ndlovu, 23, continued his outstanding start to the season by claiming both the Player of the Month and Goal of the Month accolades. The rising star has been instrumental in Golden Arrows’ resurgence, scoring three goals and providing three assists in five matches across September and October.

His Goal of the Month came from a brilliant dribble and clinical finish against Stellenbosch FC on October 22 in Cape Town. The strike edged out strong competition, including Marumo Gallants’ Jaisen Clifford against Kaizer Chiefs and Thabang Mathuludi’s last-minute winner for Polokwane City against Chippa United.

As title sponsor, Betway continues to enhance fan engagement through initiatives like the S’bonise & Win campaign, offering supporters attending home matches the chance to win up to R20,000 instantly. To date, 55 fans have claimed prizes. Betway has also introduced Dial Up games, giving fans with active accounts the opportunity to win up to R50,000 during home fixtures for all 16 teams.
