'JJ' bags COSAFA golden boot :: Mmegi Online

NDOLA, Zambia: Zebras' top marksman Jerome "JJ" Ramatlhakwana was on Saturday awarded the 2013 COSAFA Cup Golden Boot for being the top goalscorer in the tournament, despite Botswana failing to make it past the group stages of the annual tournament,

Ramatlhakwana's four goals could not be matched by anyone in the remaining teams. The CS Don Bosco striker scored a hat trick against Lesotho in the match that ended 3-3. He added on to his tally in the 2-1 win against Kenya in the Zebras final match at the tournament.

He joins a crop of the region's top strikers who have previously won the golden boot at the tournament, among them Zimbabwean legend Peter Ndlovu and Zambian Collins Mbesuma.No one has scored more than four goals in the cup's 16-year-old history and Ramatlhakwana is only the fifth player to reach the tally at the cup. Former BFA president and member of the COSAFA executive committee David Fani received the award in Ramatlhakwana's absence.
