The 26-year-old Letsholonyane initially played for Meadowlands Porto and then represented PJ Stars until he was recruited by Jomo Cosmos boss Jomo Sono before joining Amakhosi last season.
Some of the tournament's products who were honoured in the past include Excellent Walaza of Orlando Pirates, erstwhile Pirates and Moroka Swallows midfielder Sibusiso Mazibuko and former Birds midfielder Samuel Ngobeni.
