Sunday, 24 July 2022
On behalf of the Provincial Government and the people of the North West, I
wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Banyana Banyana, coach
Desiree Ellis and her staff for winning the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
We are inspired by the display of relentless commitment for excellence and
resilience to overcome adversity.
These players represent a unique cohort of South Africa’s population who
represent the best of what we can achieve if we dedicate ourselves to the
service of our country, it’s good name and it’s people.
They have given our country the best women’s month present we could all
have wished for. I hope you will all join me in proposing that the remaining
days of the month of August be dedicated to the celebration of Banyana
Banyana, the true heroins of our nation.
We love you, we salute you.
