Nominations required by midnight,19 November 2025 for MSSA's Management Board Awards.

Jessica Greef (ZAG Gaming) was named as the 2025 Mind Sports Person of the Year as well as Esports Player of the Year.

Mind Sports South Africa's Management Board Awards are the longest running awards for gaming in South Africa. The awards take into account all the various disciplines being, board gaming, card gaming, esports, and wargaming.

It could even be argued that such awards are the longest running awards for rewarding such athletes in the world having started in 2009. Whereas the long running awards (like BAFTA) acknowledge the games themselves, MSSA's Management Board Awards acknowledge the contribution made by the very gamers/athletes themselves. 

MSSA's Management Board Awards were initiated in 2009 to reward excellence not specifically provided for in MSSA's Constitution.

When reading through the names of those previously honored, the reader is quickly reminded of MSSA's rich history. The names are not just names, these are the men and women who have made an incredible contribution to the various mind sports in South Africa and even beyond South Africa's borders.

The awards are now more representative of MSSA's membership, of the work being done, and of society as a whole.

It should be noted by the reader that the categories for Writer of the Year, Social Media Person of the Year, and Sponsor of the Year are open categories and apply to anyone that has given their 'all' to the development of boardgames, card games, esports, and wargames as a sport.

The awards now take into account the following categories:
  • Mind Sports Person of the Year
  • Board Gamer of the Year
  • Esports Player of the Year
  • Wargamer of the Year
  • Team of the Year
  • Volunteer of the Year
  • Umpire of the Year
  • Coach of the Year
  • Educator of the Year
  • Writer of the Year
  • Social Media Person of the Year
  • Sponsor of the Year
MSSA's Management Board requests all members to make submissions by midnight 17 November 2025.

2024 Management Board Awards

Jess Greef (ZAG Academy) has been awarded the Mind Sports Person of the Year, as well as Esports Gamer of the Year.

Mind Sports South Africa's (MSSA) Management Board Awards are the oldest awards for the disciplines under its control having started in 2009. In fact many other awards in the esports arena only came into being in the early 2010's proving that once again MSSA is an undisputed leader in its field.

The process for the MSSA Management Board awards is that any Registered Player or Member Club may make the nomination to the Board. The Board then decides upon the final choice and it is at MSSA's Annual General Meeting that the choice is ratified.

All were agreed upon unanimously!

Without doubt all agreed that Jessica Greef thoroughly deserved the awards for both Mind Sports Person of the Year and Esports Gamer of the Year. Her skill, perseverance, determination and leadership ensured that her Protea Counter Strike 2 Esports Team won IESF's African Esports Championships (AEC24) in Casablanca this year, and then lead the team to IESF's World Esports Championships (WEC24) in Riyadh in November of this year where the team had a resounding victory over Norway.

The Iranian coach for the female Protea Counter Strike 2 Esports Team, Amirali Zahedi, was awarded Coach of the Year for his efforts in ensuring the team was properly, and suitably, readied for both the AEC24 and WEC24.

Needless to say, all the athletes of the female Protea Counter Strike 2 Esports Team that played in both the AEC24 and WEC24 were honoured by winning Team of the Year.
