Laura Wolvaardt, South Africa's women's cricket captain, emerged as the standout winner at the CSA Annual Awards, taking home five accolades, including Women's Player of the Year, after a stellar 2023-24 season. Wolvaardt not only embraced the captaincy role permanently but also led South Africa in runs scored in both ODIs and T20Is during the evaluation period. Her exceptional performances earned her the titles of Women's ODI Player of the Year and Women's T20I Player of the Year. She also won the Players' Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the Year awards, highlighting her popularity among teammates and supporters alike.

Marco Jansen was recognized as the Men's Player of the Year for his all-round contributions, including 17 wickets at the ODI World Cup and standout performances with both bat and ball during the Boxing Day Test against India.

The awards, covering achievements from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024, did not take into account performances from June’s Men's T20 World Cup or South Africa’s Test and T20I series against the West Indies, as these will be evaluated in next year’s ceremony. The awards were held in September, rather than May, because CSA's sponsors require the attendance of all nationally contracted players, which would be challenging due to the IPL.

With only four Test matches played during the eligibility period—two against India and two with a second-string side in New Zealand—selecting a Test Player of the Year was difficult. David Bedingham, who scored 56 on his debut against India and notched up 87 and 110 in his two second innings in New Zealand, was honored for his efforts. Bedingham was also named International Newcomer of the Year.

In white-ball cricket, Quinton de Kock, who has stepped away from 50-over cricket, was honored as the ODI Player of the Year, largely due to his remarkable four centuries during the 2023 World Cup. Reeza Hendricks claimed the T20I Player of the Year award, having been the only South African batter to register a half-century in the eligibility period, which excluded performances from the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Keshav Maharaj, who made an extraordinary early return from an Achilles injury to compete in the ODI World Cup, earned the Players' Player of the Year title, as voted by his peers.
