Mofokeng was also named Young Player of the Season after a commanding campaign in which he played a leading role for his side, winning a move to Belgian outfit Royale Union St Gilloise.
It underlines his growth as one of South Africa’s most prized players, but he was one of a number of Pirates players honoured.

Betway Premiership Coach of the Season not surprisingly went to Pirates’ Abdeslam Ouaddou after he ended their 14-year wait for the league title.

The Buccaneers had a clean sweep of the individual player awards in the Betway Premiership as Sipho Chaine won best goalkeeper, Lebone Seema top defender and Oswin Appollis most impressive midfielder.
Goal of the Season went to Cemran Dansin for his stunning volleyed strike against Mamelodi Sundowns, arguably one of the best ever seen in the South African topflight.

Pirates’ Tshepang Moremi also won MTN8 Last Man Standing and ex-Buccaneer Mbekezeli Mbokazi was named as the best player in the Carling Knockout.
Darren Keet’s heroics in goal for Durban City helped them to the Nedbank Cup title and he was named best player in that competition.
