Orlando Pirates midfielder Thapelo Mokobodi, AmaZulu head coach Arthur Zwane and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena have been named the winners of the Betway Premiership monthly awards for September and October.
The trio received recognition following a vote by a panel of Premier Soccer League (PSL) media-accredited judges on Tuesday, 3 October.
Mokobodi impressed the judges with his outstanding performances for the Buccaneers during the assessment period. The Orlando Pirates midfielder registered five assists, helping his side secure five victories and climb to second place on the Betway Premiership standings as they continue their title defence.

He emerged victorious in a closely contested category, beating AmaZulu duo Thandolwethu Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Radebe, who have also enjoyed impressive spells.
Meanwhile, Zwane was rewarded for guiding AmaZulu to five victories during the period, a run of results that propelled the KwaZulu-Natal-based side to third place on the league standings.
The Usuthu mentor beat strong competition from Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, who claimed the award in August, and Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso, whose team remains at the top of the table.
The awards mark the first Betway Premiership Monthly Awards victories for both Mokobodi and Zwane.
