A statement released by the PSL last Thursday indicated that the judging panel had been impressed by Ramagalela’s work rate and appetite for creating a scoring opportunities for his team. “He was recognised for being able to neutralise opposition defenders when he plays either as a forward or on the wing. Ramagalela scored three goals and provided two assists in City’s matches during this period,” statement the statement read.
Ramagalela expressed his joy at winning the two awards and acknowledged his teammates and coach Bernard Molekwa for the support they have shown since the start of the season.
