Good Luck to ‘Ntofontofo’ in his quest to annex the Golden Boot

With only one game to play, Chipolopolo striker Collins Mbesuma is in pole position to claim the award, but Prince Nxumalo of Ajax Cape Town is breathing down his neck.

Mbesuma’s Mpumalanga Black Aces taken on Davies Nkausu’s Free State Stars.

Three other players are not entirely out of the frame, although they will need more than two goals each to challenge.

They are Thobani Mncwango, Khama Billiat and Jeremy Brockie.

But Mbesuma, 32, will be the favourite to win the prize for the second time in his career. The Zambia international, who was the league’s top scorer as a rookie 11 seasons ago, has 14 goals to his name so far in 2015/16.

Back then he was playing for Kaizer Chiefs and his haul of 25 goals remains a record in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) era.

His side Aces are at home to Free State Stars at the Mbombela Stadium on the final day.

The Top-Scorers List after 29 Rounds:

Collins Mbesuma (Mpumalanga Black Aces) – 14 goals

Prince Nxumalo (Ajax Cape Town) – 13

Thobani Mncwango (Polokwane City) – 12

Khama Billiat (Mamelodi Sundowns) – 11

Jeremy Brockie (SuperSport United) – 11

Ndumiso Mabena (Platinum Stars) – 10

Leonardo Castro (Mamelodi Sundowns) – 10
