Golden Arrows goalkeeper Sifiso Mlungwana is on the brink of completing this season as the only player to have been present in every minute of DStv Premiership action.
Mlungwana has thus far played ever minute of all 29 league games and also featured in the only cup match that Arrows played in this term against AmaZulu in the Nedbank Cup.
In doing so, the 24-year-old has been nominated for the Goalkeeper of the Season award along with Mamelodi Sundowns’ Denis Onyango and Veli Mothwa of AmaZulu.
The burly shotstopper has had quite the campaign in which he has kept the more experienced trio of Edmore Sibanda, Maximilian Mbaeva and Nkosingiphile Gumede either on the bench or in the stands.

Golden Arrows goalkeeper Sifiso Mlungwana says he won t drop his head despite being overlooked for the Olympics training squad travelling to UAE next month.
Mlungwana, 24, has enjoyed an incredible breakout season in the DStv Premiership and played an integral role as Arrows look poised to secure third place in the league with CAF Confederation Cup qualification on offer.
Having been promoted from the DStv Diski Challenge squad, the stopper has ousted more experienced figures in the squad like Maximilian Mbaeva, Edmore Sibanda, Nkosingiphile Gumede for a starting line-up spot.
And despite his nomination for the Goalkeeper of the Season award alongside Denis Onyango and Veli Mothwa, he s determined to overcome the disappointment of being overlooked by U-23 head coach David Notoane.
The Brazilians became the first team since the advent of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in 1996 to win the league title for four successive seasons and they wrapped it up in domineering style as they still have three matches to play this season.
