What Happened?
Pirates were the standout club in the November awards.
Ouaddou secured his second consecutive Coach of the Month honour after also winning the October title. His team has been in superb form, winning five of six league matches across November and December and drawing once against Sundowns.
As a result, the Buccaneers have climbed to the top of the Premiership log.
Dansin’s powerful finish against Sundowns received the most votes in the Goal of the Month category, earning the academy graduate his first senior award.
Other Winners
TS Galaxy star Puso Dithejane was named Player of the Month.
The 21-year-old recorded one goal and two assists, helping Galaxy lose just one of their five league matches during the period. His form has pushed the club into eighth place on the log.
Community Impact
Fans say the awards shows the strong development pathways at both clubs. Pirates supporters praised the rise of academy talent, while Galaxy fans welcomed Dithejane’s influence in stabilizing the Mpumalanga side.
Analysts argue that the recognition reflects growing competitiveness in the Premiership heading into the festive-season fixtures.
