No Malawian footballer has been nominated for 15 categories of South Africa Absa Premier Soccer League (PSL) awards for any of the 2015\/16 season, an indication of the Flames stars\u2019 struggles.<\/p>\n
Malawi has eight footballers spread across PSL and First Division sides, but most of them struggled for game-time last season with the likes of Micium Mhone\u2019s Jomo Cosmos were relegated, whereas University of Pretoria\u2019s survival hangs on the thin thread of play-offs.<\/p>\n
In contrast, the short-listed include foreigners such as Zambian Collins Mbesuma, who is PSL Golden Boot Award-designate winner following his exploits at Mpumalanga Black Aces, where he plays alongside Flames skipper Limbikani Mzava.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwean Khama Billiat of Mamelodi Sundowns is also a favourite for Player of the Season Award.<\/p>\n
The other categories include Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament, First Division top scorer, MTN Last Man Standing, Multichoice Diski Challenge Player of the Tournament, Absa Premiership Goal of the Season, Absa Premiership Defender of the Season, Absa Premiership Players\u2019 Player of the Season, Absa Premiership Footballer of the Season, Nedbank Cup Young Player of the Season and Telkom Knockout Player of the Tournament.<\/p>\n
