Thembi Kgatlana has stated that winning the African Women's Player of the Year award does not matter anymore to her and is simply satisfied to make the final shortlist for the third time in a row.
Kgatlana is in the race to scoop the 2019 prize but must fend off tough competition from Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala and Cameroon's Ajara Nchout who both enjoyed memorable campaigns.
The 23-year-old claimed the coveted prize in 2018 after an excellent outing at the African Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana, where she clinched the Golden Boot and best player awards.
