Chipezeze had four clean sheets in five matches in the month of March and has been a key figure as the last line of defence. His acrobatic saves and composure in goals have been instrumental in his side’s recent improvement on the Betway Premiership table, with only one goal concession against Kaizer Chiefs in a narrow 1-0 defeat away from home.

He emerged victorious against equally strong competition from recently promoted Orlando Pirates defender, Mbekezeli Mbokazi as well as Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, Jayden Adams.

Meanwhile, Da Gama took over the reins at Magesi while they were at the bottom of the Betway Premiership table. He guided them to four victories in five outings, an impressive feat that has seen them move further up from the relegation zone.

It was a contested win for Da Gama, who was closely followed by TS Galaxy’s Adnan Beganovic as well as Abdeslam Ouaddou of Marumo Gallants.

The Betway Premiership Goal of the Month was claimed by Chippa United defender, Azola Ntsabo. This was after his curling free kick from a distance against Polokwane City on 15 March. Ntsabo’s goal, which was his first for the season edged out strong competition from Lucas Ribeiro’s wonder-strike against Kaizer Chiefs on 1 March in Tshwane.
