The club said the award was in recognition of the trio’s leadership and total commitment to the club.
At a brief ceremony soon after a light training session on Sunday, the Warriors midfielder was named with Surprise Moriri and skipper Teko Modise.
Nyandoro put up a star performance for Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-final 2-0 win over Free State Stars on Saturday to set up a final date on 26 May with Supersport United, themselves 3-0 winners over AmaZulu.
Tapuwa Kapini, Carlington Nyadombo and Ramson Zhuwawo turn out for Usuthu.
Richard Henyekane netted the opener after 26 minutes for Downs before former Caps United striker Nyasha Mushekwi sealed victory with a goal five minutes later.
AmaZulu started well, with Siyabonga Vilane hitting the crossbar, and Marc van Heerden shooting just wide. Goodman Dlamini had his chance saved by Ronwen Williams, after an error by Davis Nkausu.
In the 33rd minute AmaZulu had another chance as the United defence failed to clear properly and allowed Vilane to shoot but his shot went straight at Williams.
Usuthu were made to rue those missed chances when Matsatsantsa went ahead on 35 minutes. Erasmus ran up the wing and crossed to Nkoana, who simply had to nudge the ball home, and the match went into half-time 1-0.
After the break Van Heerden took a freekick in a promising position, but he did not get enough power behind the ball and Williams had an easy save.
Substitute Zuma nearly made it 2-0 soon after coming on, but shot wide. Nkoana then had a one-on-one chance with Kapini, but the goalkeeper won the battle.
However, with a quarter of an hour to go, Supersport’s enterprising game paid off when Erasmus hit home the rebound from Nkoana’s shot.
