The sextet played a vital role as Banyana Banyana qualified for the Africa Women's Cup of Nations, currently underway in Morocco.
Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies have been nominated for Club of the Year. The Brazilians sealed a treble last season, including the first-ever Women's Champions League.
As a result of helping Sundowns Ladies win the title with their impressive performance, Dlamini, Mbane, Zanele Nhlapo, and Andisiwe Mgcoyi dominate the list of nominees for the InterClub Player of the Year award.
