South Africa’s Betway Premiership side Magesi FC goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze has been crowned Player of the Month for March following a string of impressive performances.
The former Baroka FC shot-stopper kept four clean sheets, playing a crucial role in helping Magesi FC climb out of the relegation zone.
“Chipezeze, Magesi FC’s goalkeeper, secured the Player of the Month award for an impressive four clean sheets in four matches in the month of March and has been a key figure as the last line of defence,” South Africa’s PSL announced.
“The Zimbabwean international’s acrobatic saves and composure in goals have been instrumental in his side’s recent improvement on the Betway Premiership table, with only one goal concession against Kaizer Chiefs in a narrow 1-0 defeat away from home.
“Magesi’s number one emerged victorious against equally strong competition from recently promoted Orlando Pirates defender, Mbekezeli Mbokazi as well as Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, Jayden Adams.”
Despite his outstanding form, Chipezeze continues to be overlooked by Zimbabwe national team coach Michael Nees.
Nees told the media he opts to stick with Washington Arubi, the veteran goalie who helped the Warriors qualify for the AFCON finals set for Morocco in December.
However, if the former Chicken Inn goalie maintains his impressive performances, Nees could soon face mounting pressure to reconsider his squad selection.
