Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala says it has been an honour being captained by Itumeleng Khune, the 2012/13 PSL Footballer of the Season.

Khune was the big winner at the Premier Soccer League’s end-of-season awards evening held at Gold Reef City on Sunday night, walking away with the Footballer of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season, Goalkeeper of the Season and Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament awards, earning himself a cool R575 000 in prize-money.
