The nominees:
Samukelo Ngodela: The Stripe Generation's number 3 was a key part of the Tuks success and getting them to the semi-finals though his ability to run off the ball and read the game well. He won most duels in the middle of the park and scored 3 crucial goals. Here's his goal against TUT.
Leandro De Sousa: Tied top goal scorer in the tournament with 5 to his name, UWC talisman De Sousa has been deadly in front of goal for the Cape side. A natural in the box with a nose for scoring. He's been a key part of the UWC succes for several seasons and the team will be looking to him to secure the title when they face NWU in the final on 26 September.
Reatlegile Kgosithebe: Tied as the tournament's top scorer with 5 goals so far the NWU Eagles target man played a pivotal role in securing both their semi-final spot by bagging a brace against DUT and then scored against UFS to book their spot in the final. His ability to position himself perfectly in the box allows him to finish off plays from the flanks, where NWU created most of their attacking opportunities.
Voting closes on Tuesday 24 September at noon.

The relationship between music and sports has always been strong, and it's interesting to watch how it develops through the years. An athlete's usage of music as an outlet off the field is demonstrated by the story of a former football player who became a rapper. Famous people who don't limit their abilities to just one field, like Shaquille O'Neal and Ron Artest https://www.rapreviews.com/2024/05/athletes-turned-rappers-the-celebrities-of-two-worlds/, motivate us to pursue our hobbies in different ways. Their adaptability is on full display in this crossover, which also opens doors for the next generation to go higher. Such a fusion of cultures has an enduring effect on society.
