07 August 2023 – Sonke Gender Justice applauds South African Women sports teams for exceptional performances respectively, in various tournaments. Although Banyana Banyana’s journey on the FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament ended after their loss to the Netherlands, the team made history last week when they became the first ever South African national football team to reach the knockout phase of the World Cup, in both women and men formats.
Similarly, earlier this year, Proteas women also became the first senior South African team to make an International Cricket Council World Cup final. Despite missing out on qualifying for the semi-finals at the current Netball World Cup, the Spar Proteas have equally given an outstanding performance during the championships.
