Panduleni Nekundi has been rewarded for his phenomenal playing skills, winning the 2017/18 MTC NPL player of the season award, as well as the top goal scorer and golden boot awards on Friday. He netted 15 goals during the league and brushed past Marcel Papama of Unam FC and Black Africa's Dynamo Fredericks to scoop the awards. Nekundi won N$30 000 for the player of the season award, N$15 000 for the top goal scorer award. The golden boot award does not come with a cash prize.

Fredericks walked away with the players' player of the season award, which has a cash prize of N$20 000. This award is decided on by the NPL players alone.

The referee of the season award went to Nehemiah Shoovaleka from the Ohangwena Region, who received a cash prize of N$10 000. Willem Haitembu and Jackson Pavaza were also nominees for the award.

The assistant referee of the season award went to Sem Singeve from the Otjozondjupa Region, who walked away with N$5 000. Mathew Nevonga and Eneas Shikongo were the other nominees. As champions, African Stars received a trophy and N$1 million, while second-placed Black Africa took home N$600 000.

Third-placed Mighty Gunners walked away with N$300 000, while Gobabis outfit Young African received N$100 000 for their fourth-place league finish.
