The Betway Premiership Monthly Awards for September and October 2026 have produced three standout winners following an impressive month of action.
AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane, Orlando Pirates midfielder Thapelo Mokobodi and Mamelodi Sundowns' engine room star Teboho Mokoena took home the awards.
Mokobodi Wins Player of the Month
Thapelo Mokobodi took the main award after an incredible period in an Orlando Pirates shirt. He grabbed five assists as he helped Bucs to five wins.
In the Soweto Derby, he assisted both goals in a crucial 2-1 win. His form has caught the attention of Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane, who said of him:
"There's this other midfielder who is an eight. I don't want to say the name, and we cannot ignore him, right? He's been playing in the derby, just to give you an idea. He's an eight. He's a top player."
Zwane Wins Coach of the Month
AmaZulu's Arthur Zwane took the award for the best coach for the judging period. He oversaw five victories for the KwaZulu-Natal side, propelling them to third place in the Betway Premiership table.
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou and Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso were strong candidates but ultimately lost out.
"Tebza" Wins Goal of the Month
Mamelodi Sundowns' midfielder Teboho Mokoena has claimed the Betway Premiership Goal of the Month award for September/Octobe. His superb curling strike from the edge of the box against Golden Arrows secured him the honour.
Other notable Goal of the Month candidates included Siwelele's Vincent Pule after a brilliant free kick against Marumo Gallants. Durban City's Luphumlo Sifumba also earned consideration after a free kick against Milford.
