The Commission for Gender Equality says Banyana Banyana players deserve at least a million rand each for the accomplishment.This was the sixth final for Banyana Banyana in the continental competition.Commission for Gender Equality spokesperson, Javu Baloyi, has called for equal remuneration for the same kind of job done.

“We believe that this thing needs serious intervention. If it means Treasury must be involved, let it be so. These women deserve everything that is coming to them in terms of remuneration. They need to be renumerated accordingly. We are saying as a Commission, equal pay for equal work of the same value.”

“They are doing more … [in the] sporting fraternity in South Africa with the exception of rugby that has put us on the highest pedestal. But looking at the other sporting codes, Banyana Banyana is our jewel. Yet you are renumerating them with cents that they don’t even deserve. They deserve more,” adds Baloyi.

Can't be, the quality of the game is even different

Even more than Bafana even.

This is miss placed.. Football is a business... Teams should get what they bring into the Organisation.. If the females bring in more/equal and they still get less than the males than that's wrong but to expect them to get the same as the men just because of gender equality crazy

Amazing the greedy nature of some people, the greed and arrogance neutralizes the dynamics of their achievements

The solution will be to not pay anyone who plays for the narional team

Are people really checking the input vs the output regarding revenue. Where will the money come from?

Which is 100% correct. They should be compensated equally for the same output by SAFA. If Bafana was going to be paid R1m for winning AFCON, then the ladies should receive the same compensation for achieving the same goal.
