|||Johannesburg – Kaizer Chiefs captain Tefu Mashamaite has won yet another award after being voted the KICK OFF Footballer of the Season.
The Bafana Bafana defender, who lifted the Absa Premiership trophy for his club, came out on top of a vote by thousands of fans from across the country.
According to kickoff.com, the 30-year-old attracted 13 762 votes to edge out compatriot and AmaKhosi defensive partner Mandla Masango, who pulled 13 469 votes.
Mashamaite has played over 2700 minutes for Chiefs throughout the course of this season, becoming the first outfield player to do so since Thanduyise Khuboni in 2011/12, and the first defender to complete a 100% season since Rooi Mahamutsa and Wayne Arendse in 2010/11.
“In particular Tefu has had a superb campaign this season, first lifting the MTN8 trophy after taking over the club’s captaincy, and then had it finish on an even higher note when he lifted the Absa Premiership title recently,” KICK OFF magazine editor, Richard Maguire, said.
“He was an ever present force for Kaizer Chiefs with their title-winning campaign and scored three goals in the process – a leader both on and off the field.”
Mashamaite is also on the three-man shortlist for the PSL Footballer of the Year prize, to be announced at the annual awards in Sandton on Sunday.
He is also a candidate for the Absa Premiership Player’s Player of the Season, the Absa Premiership Defender of the Season and the MTN8 Player of the Season awards. – ANA
