Significantly, the President also pledged further support for Banyana Banyana and with the promise of involvement of Treasury, the team could be in for a further windfall. “I do believe you deserve much more. I heard the TV reporters say the girls are going to get this much, and I kept asking myself is this enough. Now this is what you deserve. You deserve equal pay for equal work that you do. I have been told that you get ten times less than the men when they play and that has to come to an end,” the President said while addressing the winning team.

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.
