“I wasn’t expecting the award, I was really surprised when I got the call that I am the player of the month,” Ndengane revealed.
“But it’s not about me, it’s been a team effort and thanks to coach Steve.”
Celtic won their last match 1-0 against Black Leopards at Thohoyandou this past weekend.
The defender admits that it was difficult going up against the Limpopo-based outfit infront of the massive crowd at the Thohoyandou Stadium.
“The game was very tough, but we had a plan and they had the support, but we are used to huge crowds,” he added.
