Banyana Banyana need financial incentives - Kgatlana

The South Africans are not satisfied with the small sum they have received after finishing as runners up at the 2018 tournament

Thembi Kgatlana has appealed for more financial incentives to ensure Banyana Banyana are motivated to attain podium success at international tournaments.

Desiree Ellis' team were rewarded with R2.4 million for their efforts at the African Women's Cup of Nations (Awcon), where they finished second behind eventual champions Nigeria at Ghana 2018.

This is in contrast with two-time African finalists Bafana Bafana that reportedly earns as much as 10 times more than Banyana Banyana who have reached the finals four times.
