SEDIBENG.- SAWIC & BE President Clara Sodlulashe-Mwenze said:

“As South Africans, we are extremely proud of Banyana Banyana who have secured a place in our sporting history as heroines of our nation.”

She added that it was easy to see that the team worked extremely hard to achieve their goal and that they are grateful for Banyana Banyana’s dedication to the country.

“Seeing our team walk out into a sea of red Moroccan supporters, unphased, was truly amazing. This is a huge victory not only for South Africa but for women as well. One of our core values as SAWIC & BE was to place women at the forefront of a male-dominant construction industry. Similarly, Banyana Banyana has shown us all those women can achieve anything they put their minds to.”
