Lioli’s Jeremea Kamela leads the nominees for the
Vodacom Premier League’s end of season awards announced today. The versatile midfielder has been nominated
in the player of the season and player’s player of the season categories after
a sterling 2015/16 season for Lioli.
Kamela helped Tse Nala retain their league title and
also inspired the champions to the LNIG Top 8 title in March.

Kamela is joined in the headline award for player of
the season by the Matlama pair of Motebang Sera and Jane Thaba-Ntšo. The duo is
being recognised after fine seasons for Tse Putsoa who finished second behind
Lioli in the championship race.
Sera won the league’s golden boot award with 14 goals
while Thaba-Ntšo finished just behind him with 13 goals. The winner of the
player of the season award will walk away with a cool M5000.
Kamela also stands to win the M2500 loot for the
players’ player of the season award. He is again joined in this category by
Matlama striker Sera who is guaranteed M3000 for his top scorer title. The
third nominee for the players’ player of the season is this year’s break-out
star, Sundawana striker Roboama Koloti. The 17 year-old rookie scored 13 league
goals and propelled the Butha-Buthe side to a shock top four finish in the
Vodacom Premier League.
Koloti is also up for the young player of the season
alongside Linare’s Khubetsoana Kamela and Kick4Life’s Lesia Thetsane.
Elsewhere, Mpitsa Marai (of LCS), Mosholi Mokhothu (of
Lioli) and Matlama’s Moses Maliehe will contest the coach of the season award
while the goalkeeper honour will go to Sele Thetsane (of Kick4Life), Kananelo
Makhooane (of Lioli) or LCS’s Daniel Jousse.
