The Commentators Corner – Top Five Players | GDL U19 Division
With the U19 division only two weeks away from its conclusion, Ongama Gcwabe caught up with four of SuperSport Schools’ commentators to get their take on the division’s Future Prospects of South African Football.
English commentator Thando Mjiyako and IsiZulu commentator Sifisokuhle Msimango weighed in on the conversation and, together with the Tswana commentators Orapeleng Mogaki and Lebogang Mahume, chose their Top Five Players of the season.
Interestingly, there were no unanimous selections. Only Kaizer Chiefs’ Khulumane Ndamane and Mamelodi Sundowns’ Thuto Sesipi and Tsiamo Masipi earned two nods from the knowledgeable panel, while the two clubs produced 13 of the 20 selections.
