PSL ACEO congratulates Q4 winners, Platinum Stars

Absa Premiership runners-up, Platinum Stars were today rewarded with R1, 5 million for emerging as winners of the Absa Premiership Quarter Four Q-Innovation (Q-4).

This is the second time this season that Stars have claimed the prize – a record they share with Absa Premiership champions, Kaizer Chiefs who also claimed Q1 and Q3. Dikwena won Q2 and Q4.

Platinum Stars finished top of Q4 with 14 points. They were presented with the R1.5 million cheque by PSL Acting CEO, Cambridge Mokanyane.

Mokanyane heaped praise on Platinum Stars coach, Cavin Johnson following gutsy performances in the Absa Premiership.

“Even though they did not win the Championship, Platinum Stars should be applauded for their performance this season. They played well and Cavin Johnson and his players should be commended for their effort. They fully deserve these honours,” he said.

Mokanyane also reflected on the success of the Q-Innovation concept that was introduced by PSL Chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza at the beginning of the season.

“The first season of the Q-Innovation has been a huge success and we are looking forward to taking this concept to the next level. The Q-Innovation is about recognizing and rewarding performance and I’m very excited about the fact that teams have embraced this initiative. We are looking forward to 2013/14 season,” Mokanyane added.
