Banyana Banyana midfielder Busisiwe Ndimeni says she was humbled by her family’s presence at the 2019 Cosafa Women’s Championship.
Ndimeni’s family were out in numbers in her hometown when Banyana clinched their third successive and overall sixth Cosafa Cup title with a 1-0 win over Zambia on Sunday.
Ndimeni says it was a humbling experience playing in front of her home crowd and family, but she wished that her late mother was also present.
Soundbite Translation {I’m really happy and I’m happier that we won it for the third time in a row in my home town. Having my family there humbled me and I know my late mother would have been here. Having them there actually made me feel good.}
This is Ndimeni’s first Cosafa medal with Banyana and she admits that the final game against Zambia was tough.
Ndimeni further says she is proud of the team for absorbing pressure and expectation to do well after their appearance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in June. – Report by Lethabo Kganyago
