Reading Time: < 1 minute

Banyana Banyana Captain Janine van Wyk says she is not considering hanging up her boots yet after she led the team at the FIFA World Cup in France, recently.

Van Wyk has represented Banyana on more than 10 years and has accumulated more than 120 caps.

She will be part of the team that will take part in the Council of Southern Africa Football Association (Cosafa) tournament in August.

Van Wyk recently played abroad in the United States for Houston Dash alongside her compatriots Thembi Kgatlana and Linda Motlhalo.

Van Wyk returned home to play for her team JVW in the local league, while Kgatlana and Motlhalo are now based in China. She still wants to return abroad.

The Under-20 team Bantwana has been paired in Group A together with Namibia, Zimbabwe and Malawi also in the Cosafa Under-20 tournament.

There were few U20 players such as Karabo Dlamini who were part of the World Cup team.

Van Wyk is hoping they will impart their experience to their teammates. – Report by Vincent Sitsula
