Banyana Banyana shines in the FIFA World Cup, defying expectations and making history as South Africa’s remarkable underdogs.
When your national football team loses 2-0 in the last 16 of the top global tournament, you could be forgiven for feeling disappointed and slightly depressed.
In the case of Banyana Banyana, the mere fact we’re feeling those emotions at all should, counter-intuitively, be cause for celebration.
Being honest, no-one expected us to get this far (other than, perhaps, coach Desiree Ellis and her fired-up charges), so going through the “normal” emotions of fans of a top team wasn’t really on our minds.

Given the hundreds of millions poured into men’s football here, backing Banyana Banyana is a sponsorship bargain in terms of money spent versus results.
Our women footballers belong in the world’s top 16 on a permanent basis.
