The
PSL Acting CEO, Cambridge Mokanyane will offer the team the R1, 5 Million
cheque to the AmaKhosi management prior to kick-off of their Absa Premiership
clash with Golden Arrows at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
The Naturena-based side finished on top of the
Absa Premiership log after eight matches (Q1) with 18 points ahead of second
placed University of Pretoria and third placed Orlando Pirates who are on 15
and 14 points respectively.
The Phefeni Glamour boys managed to remain
unbeaten throughout the first quarter (Q1) with five wins and only three draws
in their opening eight matches.
The
two time Absa Premiership winners netted an impressive 16 goals and conceded a
paltry four goals. Bernard Parker who has rediscovered his goal scoring form
has scored seven (7) of those goals while the other strikes came from
Lehlohonolo Majoro (3), Kingston Nkhatha (2), Siyabonga Nkosi (2), Tefu
Mashamaite and Siphiwe Tshabalala.
“The
first quarter of the Absa Premiership has been nothing but exhilarating,” says,
PSL Acting CEO Cambridge Mokanyane.
“I
would like to congratulate Kaizer Chiefs on being the inaugural winners of the
Q Innovation. Q 1 has enabled the clubs to have short term and long term goals.
We have seen in the opening quarter that the focus of the Absa Premiership is
no longer focused on the last games of the season, but we have seen that every
game counts. Other impressive statistics
from AmaKhosi have been the number of goals they have been able to score. The
team has done well thus far and should be commended.”
The
journey to become League Champions continues for the Soweto outfit as the
second quarter (Q2) will begin with the re-set during the mid week matches and
after every team has played an additional seven games, then Q2 will be complete
and the winner will be presented with the winnings.
