Orlando Pirates star Oswin Appollis vows to share over $5m cash prize with teammate Mbokazi

Orlando Pirates star Oswin Appollis has decided to share his Man-of-the-match cash prize with his teammate Mbekezeli Mbokazi.

Appollis was adjudged as the Man-of-the-March during the Carling Knockout last 16 clash against Siwelele FC on Saturday, taking home a cash prize of $5,778.

Despite his outstanding performance, the former SuperSport United and Ajax Cape Town youth star believes his teammate was probably more deserving and is due a share of the prize.

“What a brilliant goal from [Mbekezeli] Mbokazi,” Appollis said. “To be honest, I think he deserved it [Man of the Match] more today, because he was fighting and defending.

“I’ll definitely have to cut [my cheque] because what a goal. I’ll definitely share with him,” Appollis concluded.

Appollis will now focus on international duty as Bafana Bafana take on Zimbabwe and Rwanda this week.
