When Thembi Kgatlana was a little girl, her mother tried everything to discourage her from playing football.
This week, Koko Kgatlana could not have been more grateful for her disappointing failure. She has seen her daughter become the most talked about footballer in the country, thanks to her stint in Banyana Banyana's historic qualification at the 2019 Women's Cup in France.
"I'm more than proud of her – I did not want her to play football when she started elementary school." She was also part of the team. Athletics and I preferred athletics, since I was also an athlete.Unfortunately for me at that time, she chose the sport practiced by her father, football, "she said.
Guided by the astute Desiree Ellis, Banyana has confirmed her place in France with an emphatic performance at the African Nations Cup of Nations in Ghana.
It will be the first time that the Banyana will compete in the global jewel of football, thanks to the contribution of players like Kgatlana.
Like Benni McCarthy in 1998, Kgatlana has no doubt taken the lead in the continental United States for the continental championship, both as a killer scorer and playmaker.
