Kaizer Chiefs star Glody Lilepo has added a cherry on top for Amakhosi supporters who are still on cloud nine after winning the Nedbank Cup.
This after Lilepo won the Goal of the Month accolade for April for his spectacular solo effort goal against Marumo Gallants.
This comes in a week where Amakhosi ended a long 10-year trophy drought by clinching the Nedbank Cup.
Not only did they win the Ke Yona Cup, but they also defeated archrivals Orlando Pirates 2-1 in the final last Saturday and sent the country into a state of frenzy.
Lilepo, Sekhukhune United’s Keletso Makgalwa, and coach Eric Tinkler were recognised as the Betway Premiership monthly awards winners for April.
Makgalwa earned the Player of the Month accolade following a series of standout performances in April.
He was featured in three out of four matches, contributing significantly to the team’s attacking prowess, including scoring a crucial goal and providing an assist.
His dynamic play and creativity were instrumental in Sekhukhune’s unbeaten run during the month.
Makgalwa edged out strong competition from his teammate, goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, who kept two clean sheets, and Stellenbosch FC midfielder Sanele Barns, who also put up an impressive performance in April.
Tinkler’s impressive victories
Tinkler was voted Coach of the Month, and under his guidance, Sekhukhune concluded the month of April unbeaten, recording three wins and a draw.
Tinkler orchestrated impressive victories over Cape Town City (2-1), Polokwane City (2-0), and Orlando Pirates (1-0), as well as a hard-fought 1-1 stalemate against TS Galaxy.
These results propelled Ba Bina Noko into the top three bracket of the Betway Premiership.
For Amakhosi, Lilepo claimed the Goal of the Month award for his spectacular solo effort at home against Bahlabane ba Ntwa.
The Congolese international dribbled past three opponents before unleashing a powerful shot into the top corner.
Lilepo edged out strong competition from Kamogelo Sebelebele’s impressive strike for Galaxy against Magesi FC, as well as Thulani Gumede’s curler from the edge of the box against Cape Town City.
