This week, we have an early release, to whet your appetite, as we discuss Banyana Banyana’s brilliant display in winning the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Banyana returned to the country to a heroes’ welcome on Tuesday morning, and were handed a cheque for R5.8 million by sports minister Nathi Mthethwa.

Our panel discusses all these issues and more, so have a listen!
