Disregard of Banyana disappointing

Banyana Banyana's performance at the recent African Women's Championship in Equatorial Guinea was outstanding but the local media, as usual, didn't cover the tournament well.

The media and Safa's continued disregard of women's soccer is disappointing.

The development programmes are in tatters and nobody is pointing out the importance of development at an early age.

Women's football has potential but the people who are supposed to monitor it and give direction seem not to care.

We have been found wanting in almost every tournament we took part in and it looks as if the powers that be are content with that.

Millions of rands are pumped into Bafana Bafana and the PSL but nothing is going to Banyana's coffers. What a shame!
