Banyana beat the DRC to secure spot at 2026 Wafcon tournament


South Africa have secured their place in next year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations football tournament in Morocco.

Banyana Banyana beat the Democratic Republic of Congo 1-0 in their second leg qualifier at the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto last night.

Mexico-based striker, Thembi Kgatlana, celebrated her return to the side by scoring the winner in stoppage time.

It was an individual effort after she dispossessed a defender before finishing off.

Kgatlana missed the Africa Cup of Nations in June due to personal reasons.

The two teams had played to a 1-all draw in last week’s first leg in Kinshasa.
