KHAMA Billiat, the Mamelodi Sundowns dynamo, was the centre of attention at the 2015/16 #PSLAwards when he claimed three main awards as the PSL honoured this season’s top achievers at Emperors Palace on Monday.
Billiat walked away with the night’s most coveted prize, the PSL Footballer of the Season award.
The Zimbabwean international also took home the 2015/16 Absa Premiership Player’s Player of the Season and the Absa Premiership Midfielder of the Season. In all three categories, he edged his teammates, Hlompho Kekana and Keagan Dolly.
He took total prize money of R450 000 (R250 000 for Footballer of the Season, R150 000 for Absa Premiership Player’s Player of the Season and R50 000 for Absa Premiership Midfielder of the Season).
The PSL Footballer of the Season is voted for by the coaches in the Premier Division. Absa Premiership Player’s Player of the Season is voted for by the players from the 16 Premier Division clubs.
Pitso Mosimane, the Mamelodi Sundowns mentor, took the Absa Premiership Coach of the Season while Dennis Onyango and Thabo Nthethe, both from Sundowns, were voted as Absa Premiership Goalkeeper and Defender of the Season.
There was an emotional moment on the night as the mother of the late Ajax Cape Town defender, Cecil Lolo, walked on stage to accept the award for the late defender who was voted MTN8 Last Man Standing (Player of the Tournament).Advertisement
