Born in Bishop Lavis, Cape Town, Oswin Appollis came through Ajax Cape Town's youth academy and endured a string of rejections, reviving his career at Pretoria Callies before starring for Polokwane City. A low-slung, agile winger who terrorises full-backs, he completed a much-coveted move to Orlando Pirates in 2025 ahead of Chiefs, Sundowns and Esperance. Now one of Bafana's most dangerous attackers, he produced a near double-double of goals and assists this season.
