Following a phenomenal start to the new campaign, Eric Tinkler has been named the Coach of the Month. Under his leadership, Sekhukhune United won four of their five matches and drew one, collecting 13 points and securing the top spot on the Betway Premiership log on goal difference ahead of Kaizer Chiefs.

Tinkler’s troops “secured victories against Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy, Orbit College, and Durban City.”

Meanwhile, TS Galaxy winger Puso Dithejane was crowned the Player of the Month for his electrifying performances. Dithejane’s efforts included three goals and two assists in five matches, with a hat-trick against Chippa United standing out.
