The 2024/25 Premier Soccer League awards have started to be announced this evening, with Mamelodi Sundowns receiving the first award.

Mofokeng was beaten by his teammate Mbekezeli Mbokazi to the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player, while Kaizer Chiefs’ Pule Mmodi was named Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament.
