Thembi Kgatlana has said that greater financial incentives can help Banyana Banyana focus on trying to win Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) gold.
The Benfica striker won the Confederation of African Football’s Women’s Player of the Year award in 2018‚ largely for her role as tournament top scorer steering Banyana to the final of that year’s Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana.
Kgatlana believes with improved financial rewards on offer‚ Banyana might improve their conversion rate to a gold medal. “Yes‚ we are slowly getting there. You could see in the 2018 Afcon that we had a will to beat whoever was standing in our way. “And I think as women’s footballers that’s what we yearn for. Especially in African football‚ we don’t get a lot of money from the national team.
