The associations’ executive committee, in conjunction with four prominent local commentators Mark Gleeson, Thabiso Thema, Kevin Evans and Duane Dell’Oca, decided on the five nominees.
Those up for the gong are Mamelodi Sundowns duo Themba Zwane and Hlompho Kekana, Kaizer Chiefs duo Samir Nurkovic and Lebogang Manyama, and ex-Highlands Park striker Peter Shalulile, who has since joined Sundowns with Malawian star Gabadinho Mhango missing on the list.
