Simba Bhora coach Joel Lupahla has been named the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Coach of the Month for June, while former FC Platinum midfielder Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya scooped the Player of the Month accolade.
Lupahla won the prestigious monthly award after leading his team to three wins and a single draw in June.
Simba Bhora, who trails log leaders Mwos by a single point, picked up maximum points away from home. They beat Highlanders 3-2 at Barbourfields before edging Bikita Minerals 1-0 at home.
Simba Bhora continued their fine run of form with a 1-0 away win against Yadah. They concluded their June fixtures with an away draw against FC Platinum.
After bidding farewell to FC Platinum with a 1-1 draw against Simba Bhora last weekend, Ngwenya has received a perfect parting gift with the June Player of the Month award.
Before leaving his team, Ngwenya had scored a brace, ensuring that the platinum miners cruised to a 4-0 home win against ZPC Kariba.
Ngwenya sealed a two-year deal with South African Premiership side AmaZulu after putting up a stellar performance during the COSAFA Cup tournament last month.
