They deserve more not equal than those losing boys. But while at it PresidencyZA must also give us a report on all his gender promises from 40% procurement set aside, R160 billion for GBV, etc.

They must just pay this girls what they want to pay them and stop this comparison of equal pay for equal work. Football has levels, cant compare women football to men. WAFCON2022 BanyanaHomeComing Union Building.
