SC Villa striker Charles Lwanga has been crowned the Fortebet Real Stars Player of the Month for November.
Lwanga outshone Vipers’ duo Allan Okello and Milton Karisa to claim the prestigious award.
Reflecting on his achievement, Lwanga stated: “It’s the performance that brought me here, and it’s the performance that will bring me back,” he was quoted by Voice of Bugerere.
He further added: “The difference this season is that I’ve learned to understand what I want, and I know it’s my performance that will draw people’s attention toward me. My target this season is 15 goals.”
The former KCCA player had a remarkable November, netting six goals in four matches.
His impressive tally included a quadruple in SC Villa’s 5-0 rout of UPDF and a brace in their 6-1 victory over Wakiso Giants.
Other Award Winners
In addition to Lwanga’s triumph in football, other categories also recognized standout performances:
Rugby
Lydia Namabiro emerged victorious in the rugby category after a stellar performance at the Africa Women’s 7s in Accra, Ghana.
She was the top scorer for the Lady Rugby Cranes, crossing the line for 11 tries.

She edged out stiff competition from her teammates, team captain Peace Lekuru and winger Grace Auma.
