Tinkler, Hlatshwayo win PSL gongs

Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler and Bidvest Wits defender Thulani Hlatshwayo won the Absa Premiership Coach and Player of the Year awards for March.


The announcement was made at a press conference at the PSL offices on Thursday.

Tinkler guided his side to an unbeaten run for the month of March and the Citizens currently lead the log standings with 42 points in 22 matches.

Tyson, as Hlatshwayo is affectionately known in football circles, was the pillar of strength at the back for Wits in March and scored vital goals for Gavin Hunt’s team.

“I played as a striker at Senaone Gunners, and it is not a surprise for me that I have scored a few goals this season,” said Hlatshwayo.
