Thembi Kgatlana and Linda Motlhalo were named to the South Africa Women’s National Team training camp roster prior to the 2018 African Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana, the South African Football Association (SAFA) announced today.
The African Women’s Cup of Nations will also determine which national teams will represent the Confederation of African Football at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France next summer. Banyana Banyana (the Girls) are hoping to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in the nation’s history.
Eight teams will be drawn into two groups of four during the Cup of Nations.
