With the FIFA Women’s World Cup fast approaching, South Africa’s senior women’s national team, Banyana Banyana, is gearing up for the prestigious tournament taking place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20, 2023. As a final sendoff, the team will play an international friendly match against Botswana on July 2, 2023, at the Tsakane Stadium in the East Rand.
The community and family of former Banyana Banyana captain Khabo Zitha have been left in shock and sorrow after her sister, Lindiwe Zitha, was brutally attacked by her boyfriend over the weekend. The attack, which took place during a load shedding bout, has resulted in Lindiwe being in a coma and fighting for her life in a Gauteng hospital.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) has made history by appointing Lydia Monyepao as its new CEO, following the resignation of Tebogo Motlanthe. Monyepao, a former Banyana Banyana player and sports administrator, is the first woman to hold the position in SAFA’s history.
