Dithejane earned the Betway Premiership Player of the Month award after continuing with his rich vein of form this season. The attacking midfielder was crucial in Galaxy’s impressive run over the last two months, where he scored once and provided two assists to help his side head into the Christmas break in the top 8 bracket of the Betway Premiership.

Dithejane emerged as the best player ahead of strong contenders in Orlando Pirates forward, Oswin Appollis, as well as AmaZulu FC’s Athini Maqokolo, who also impressed during the period under review.

It was back-to-back Betway Premiership Coach of the Month accolades for Pirates coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, whose tactics ensured Pirates go into the break at the summit of the Betway Premiership. 

Ouaddou, who scooped the award last month, steered the Bucs ship to four victories and a draw in five outings to rightfully earn his second award of the season ahead of strong competition from Polokwane City head coach, Phuthi Mohafe, as well as AmaZulu’s Arthur Zwane.
