Awards for Kaizer Chiefs stars
Kaizer Chiefs gave awards to their players for their efforts during the 2013/2014 season.
KAIZER Chiefs took the night off to honour their players for their efforts during the season.
It was a glamorous affair on Wednesday May 21 when the local Premier Soccer League club, Kaizer Chiefs, paid tribute to their stars of the 2013/2014 season.
“The club had a good season going through a tough one, having played as many games as they did,” said Head coach Stuart Baxter. “We had a good season, but not a great one. Though we didn’t win any big trophy, we still played and enjoyed good soccer.”

Amakhosi, midfielder, won an array of prizes, which included various categories: Players’ Player of the Season, May Player of the Month, Fan Player of the Season and Online Player of the Season and the big one, Player of the Season awards.
