01:06Let's take a deep dive into the 26-woman army that will represent Mazansi at the big dance

01:11this July, and predict just how far they'll go.

01:13Goalkeepers, safe hands and loud voices.

01:17Kaylin Swart, Dlamini, Gordon.

01:19The goalposts are safe, sharp, sharp.

01:221.

01:23Kaylin Swart, Mini.

01:243.

01:25Dineo, Magagula.

01:264.

01:27Casey, Gordon.

01:28Analysis.

01:29Swart brings experience and vocal leadership.

01:32I, Dlamini, has the reflexes of a township cat avoiding bathwater.

01:36Magagula and newcomer Gordon complete a unit packed with versatility.

01:39Strength, shot stopping and communication.

01:43Weakness, distribution under pressure, still an area to improve.

01:47Defenders, no entry without permit, 5.

01:49Ramalepa, co-captain vibes.

01:52Mbain, no nonsense.

01:53Tsetso, wahala for any striker we go near.

01:56Lebohang Ramalepe, co-captain, 6.

01:58Fikile Magama, 7.

02:00Gabriela Salgado, 8.

02:01Tsetso Macubela, 9.

02:03Bambinani Mbane, 10.

02:05Karabodlamini, 11.

02:07Analysis.

02:08Mbane is the marshal.

02:10Ramalepe brings championship composure.

02:12Salgado adds modern ball-playing class.

02:15Dlamini and Magama are versatile.

02:17Malongo's inclusion adds youthful balance.

02:19Strength.

02:20Positional awareness, experience core.

02:24Weakness, vulnerability to aerial threats and counter-pressing.

02:28Midfielders.

02:28Our midfield, Refilo Jane is back with co-captain Steez.

02:33Linda, the boss lady, Matlalo, go paint Morocco green and gold with her passes.

02:37And Motau, yo, her rise has been spiritual.

02:41Vibes, Vision, and Vuma, 12.

02:44Bangjeka, game day, 13.

02:45Sibulele Holweni, 14.

02:4715.

02:48Nanlala Mthandi, 16.

02:50Refilo Jane, co-captain.

02:51Amogalang Motau, 18.

02:53Regina Mogalola, 19.

02:55Naxolo Sesane.

02:57Analysis.

02:58Midfield royalty.

02:59Jane is the metronome.

03:00Matlalo is the artist.

03:02Motau is stepping up big time.

03:04Sesane and Mthandi bring flair.

03:06Holweni's dynamism makes her dangerous both ways.

03:09Strength.

03:10Game control.

03:11Passing range.

03:12Tactical awareness.

03:13Weakness.

03:14Occasionally overrun when pressed high.

03:17Forwards.

03:18Upfront.

03:19Magaya, still they burst net.

03:20Germaine, still they scatter defenders like confetti.

03:23And look out for Bonolo Mokoma.

03:25This girl plays like she's powered by a mappiano.

03:28Nahu Wan Chekos, 20.

03:30Adriel Mibi, 20.

03:31Galibane, Mola Koana, 22.

03:33Hilda Magaya, 23.

03:34Jermaine's Posenwe, and Thabising, Magia, 25.

03:38Bonolo Mokoma, 26.

03:40Ronald Donnelly.

03:42Magaya is a walking headline.

03:45Sioposenwe remains the magician.

03:47Magia and Mokoma are wildcard X-factors.

03:50Donnelly's finishing is lethal on her day.

03:52Strength.

03:53Pace.

03:54Movement.

03:54Finishing in tight spaces.

03:56Weakness.

03:57Consistency under pressure.

03:58Expect Panyana to line up in a balanced 4-3-3.

04:02Watch the midfield triangle of Jane, Mutlalo, and Houeni.

04:06Dem go control tempo like DJs in Cape Town on New Year's Eve.

04:10Pressure.

04:14Back onto the field.

04:15She goes.

04:16Penalty.

04:17Penalty has been a win.

04:18In the Kusafaka.

04:20Can't she do it again?

04:21Mutlalo for South Africa.

04:22Has tacked this ball home confidently.

04:24She's got a second of this tournament.

04:26Both have come from the penalty mark.

04:28But South Africa importantly lead deep in added time at the end of the 90 in this semifinal

04:35tie.

04:35The captain trio.

04:37Three queens, one crown.

04:39Ellis named Jane, Motow, and Ramalepi as co-captains.

04:42A classy decision reflecting leadership from all areas of the pitch.

04:46Our co-captains shared real gems with us.

04:49These ladies aren't just players.

04:51They're storytellers.

04:52Warriors.

04:53Leaders.

04:53Their response to DF Media Sports shows humility, drive, and sisterhood.

04:58The kind that wins trophies.

05:00Yeah, well, I'm honoured again.

05:03It's such a privilege to be selected as one of the leaders of the team.

05:08And with the experience that I've gained over the years being in the team, it's important

05:12that I pass on the bait and that I also share that experience with the upcoming players and

05:18with the other captains.

05:20It's not easy to be the leader in the team, but when we work together, when we share the

05:24same vision, the same goal, then everything becomes easy.

05:28First of all, I would also like to say it's an honour and it's a privilege, but I think

05:33that it's not something that comes with a surprise.

05:35I think sometimes things happen in the background and people don't know about it, but I think

05:40I'm well equipped and thankfully the coaches believe in me.

05:44I've done this from U17 level to U20 and I think right now this is a full circle moment

05:49for me, but mine is to serve and as Fifi said, it makes it easier when you have other teammates

05:55who are also leaders, so that just becomes just a tagline, but then the rest of the team

05:59is able to lead with you.

06:00So for me, I'm just honoured and it's a great privilege that I'm willing to honour.

06:05Tripped up, free kick to South Africa in a very dangerous position.

06:11Much to the like to take on from this sort of range.

06:13Very quick reflexes, wonderful athletic ability.

06:19She floats the ball in, the header is there, it looked to be on target, but it's lacking

06:23in any power and comfortable for Musonda.

06:26The Sarnet runs onto it, first time ball, super centre overruns it here, Jarnet with the

06:30hits, it's off Gadiete, but again Musonda's there.

06:34South Africa had their own glorious chance, minutes after Zambia had one.

06:39But wait, it's not all sunshine.

06:41Ghana, Tanzania, Mali?

06:43This Group B, no B-child's play.

06:46Ghana, they pair it a bounce back.

06:48Tanzania just showed flames in Sikafa.

06:50And Mali?

06:51Never predictable.

06:52Group B, the real group of death?

06:55Ghana Black Queens, fast, technical, and itching to return to African glory.

07:01Tanzania, Twigga stars, high on confidence after Sikafa heroics.

07:05Mali?

07:06Unpredictable, powerful, and historically tricky.

07:10Prediction, Banyana should top the group, but it won't be a walk in the Joburg Park.

07:15Ghana is hungry, Tanzania is improving fast, and Mali can surprise anyone.

07:20It's a minefield.

07:22Title defense, can Ellis and crew do it again?

07:25Coach Desiree Ellis is building on her legacy.

07:27The 2022 title was no fluke.

07:29It was the result of years of building chemistry and instilling belief.

07:34This 2024 squad?

07:36More depth, more swag, more hunger.

07:38This team is deeper than football.

07:41Prediction, semifinal berth is the minimum.

07:43Final is the mission.

07:45Title?

07:46Very possible.

07:47If the midfield holds and the strikers deliver when it counts.

07:50Final verdict.

07:52This squad screams ambition and unity.

07:55It's got the talent, the leadership, and the championship DNA.

07:59Now it's about execution, energy, and vibes.

08:02Mazansi to the world.

08:03Banyana Banyana are not done yet.

08:06Can they defend the crown?

08:07I say yes.

08:09If they stay compact, take their chances, and remember who they are.

08:13We're not just defending.

08:15We're making history again.
