The Rustenburg-based outfit finished top of the Quarter Two league table with 18 points from seven games.
They were handed a R1.5million cheque by Mokanyane, who feels the new motivational tool for players and coaches in the South African top flight has been an unmitigated success.
He said: "I would like to congratulate Platinum Stars management, technical staff and the players for winning the second quarter of the Q-Innovation.
"I think the Q-Innovation has been a resounding success if you look at the number of goals scored in the season so far.
"It is the dream and vision of our chairman, Dr Irvin Khoza to see improved standards of football in the country and this Q-Innovation has gone a long way in contributing towards that."
Henrico Botes, meanwhile, was named the Absa Premiership Player of Quarter 2 at the Premier Soccer League (PSL) headquarters in Parktown on Thursday morning.
In addition to the R1.5m prize money for the club, both Johnson and Botes receive a further R15,000 each for their efforts over the last seven rounds of football.
Botes scored five goals in the last seven league matches bringing his overall tally to six goals this season.
Absa Sponsorship Manager Steward Masela was delighted to have been able to announce the winners: "While Kaizer Chiefs were the club of Q1 there is no doubt that Platinum Stars deserve the plaudits for their efforts during this latest quarter.
"Platinum Stars have exceeded all expectation and have put themselves in a fantastic position to challenge for the Absa Premiership title in the second half of the league season."
