Orlando Pirates duo Tshegofatso Mabasa & Evidence Makgopa as well as Kaizer Chiefs starlet Mduduzi Shabalala are hot on the heels of current Betway Premiership top goalscorer Iqraam Rayners for the golden boot award this campaign.

The Bafana Bafana striker has so far netted six goals in 10 starts, aiding the defending champions to the summit of the log standings, three points ahead of Orlando Pirates who have a game in hand.
Rayner’s teammate Lucas Ribeiro is closely behind him with five goals in nine matches, picking up from where he left off in the last term.
Perhaps the surprise package of the list is TS Galaxy striker Dzenan Zajmovic who has been hitting the net regularly of late. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international has scored four times in eight outings for the Rockets which has seen them move into 10th place having been bottom dwellers at some stage this season.
In fourth spot, is Amakhosi’s young talent Shabalala, who is just 20, and has racked up four goals in 10 appearances and is the club’s top goalscorer so far this season.
AmaZulu’s in-form attacker Hendrick Ekstein has been the KwaZulu-Natal-based’s side most outstanding player lately and it’s no surprise to see him on the list with four goals in eight matches.
