The club, alongside sponsor LG, ran the player of the month competition on all their social media platforms and Mlambo received the majority of votes cast by fans in a competition run over the last couple of weeks.
“It’s a great honour to be nominated for such an award, especially in a time where we haven’t been doing as well as we had planned for as a team. When we get onto the field we aren’t thinking of awards, but rather to help the team win games so to be here right now is a pleasant surprise,” Mlambo told the club’s website.
Teammate Vincent Pule was not far behind with the second highest number of votes received.
