| Champions Bantu will continue their celebrations on Sunday in Mafeteng |
Vodacom Premier League champions Bantu
will host an awards show on Sunday at Golden Hotel in Mafeteng. The gala will
celebrate the side’s successful 2016/17 season which saw A Matšo Matebele win their second league title in club history.
The awards will start at 11:00.
Bantu, who last won the league in 2014,
completed a wonderful 2016/17 campaign earlier this month when they sealed the championship
with a last day win over Kick4Life. The Mafeteng giants earned themselves a
cool M200,000 for capturing the Vodacom Premier League title, most of which
went to the players.
Nevertheless, Bantu communications and
marketing manager Motlatsi Mofokeng said the club’s management wanted to honour
the players and coaching staff even further after they brought the club success
in the year of its 90th birthday celebrations.
“It is the responsibility of the
management to motivate the team and we believe the motivation they will get from
the awards will work for the team next season,” Mofokeng said.
“Even though the success of the team is
a result of unity, individuals have to be honoured for their contribution in
their respective positions at the club,” he added.
“The players sacrificed their time with friends
and families and dedicated themselves to their work,” Mofokeng continued. “Therefore,
now is the time for them to get rewarded for making their supporters and
management happy.”
Bantu’s players were certainly exceptional
in the 2016/17 Vodacom premiership season. They won 19 of their 26 league
matches, only lost twice and scored the most goals (50).
In the end, A Matšo Matebele collected 62 points to end rivals Lioli’s two-year
reign as league champions.
