Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau and Mamelodi Sundowns were the big winners at the inaugural awards ceremony of the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations in Sandton Thursday night.
Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena won the Men’s Coach of the Year gong for guiding his team to the inaugural African Football League title and the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League. Bafana Bafana skipper and Mamelodi Sundowns shot stopper Ronwen Williams says his hard work has paid off after adding the Goalkeeper of the Year to his accolade at the COSAFA awards.
“I think each and every award is special but I think this one is a lot more special I think my first trophy was as a player in 2002 and 15 years later as a coach. So Cosafa has played a major role in my development as a coach it has given us opportunity so bug thanks to them.”
