Sukazi believes this system may inadvertently favour popular players from the bigger teams like Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns.
“If you were to ask me what’s the prize money for DStv Premiership man of the match is, I don’t know,” says Sukazi.TS Galaxy’s president, Tim Sukazi, holds a range of emotions regarding the prize money for the “player of the match” in the PSL’s latest cup competition, theThe recent announcement revealed that in each match, the player selected as the ‘champion player’ would take home a notable R100 000 in prize money.
However, what really irks him is the fact that the Carling Knockout’s player of the match is determined by fan votes.While Sukazi appreciates the financial reward, he remains cautious about the potential influence of popularity in the selection process, underscoring the nuanced dynamics of such a decision.“If you were to ask me what’s the prize money for DStv Premiership man of the match is, I don’t know,” said Sukazi.
“It is guaranteed, chances are that if you play big teams, Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns, you won’t have a man of the match if you beat them. “The majority counts, you know the supporters, the majority will vote and they won’t vote for a player from Richards Bay or whoever.”Sukazi’s Rockets found themselves paired up with Mamelodi Sundowns, a part of the local football “Top 3.” This high-profile matchup certainly raises the stakes.
