Footballer of the Season Award winner announced
The winner of the Kick Off Footballer of the Season Award has been announced as Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana centre back Tefu Mashamaite, who was the only player to have played every single minute of the 2014/15 Absa Premiership.
Kick Off magazine's editor, Richard Maguire, said: "In particular, Tefu has had a superb campaign this season, first lifting the MTN8 trophy after taking over the club's captaincy, and then had it finish on an even higher note when he lifted the Absa Premiership title recently. He was an ever-present force for Kaizer Chiefs with their title-winning campaign and scored three goals in the process - a leader both on and off the field."
Mashamaite has played over 2700 minutes for the Amakhosi throughout the course of this season, completing his 100% record. Mashamaite becomes the first outfield player to do so since Thanduyise Khuboni in 2011/12, and the first defender to complete a 100% season since Rooi Mahamutsa and Wayne Arendse in 2010/11.
