Seoposenwe’s search for a fairytale ending
Now playing for Rayadas Monterrey Femenil in Mexico, Seoposenwe continues to lead by example, even as she prepares to step aside. Her desire is to pass the baton to the next generation—young talents like Bonolo Mokoma and Ronnel Donnelly, the latter of whom she shared the pitch with on Monday (7 July), just as others did for her.
But before the former SC Braga forward passes the torch, there is one final goal: defending the WAFCON title in Morocco.
South Africa got their campaign off to a winning start against Ghana, a game in which Seoposenwe scored a superb goal to help Banyana Banyana to a hard-fought 2-0 win in Group C.
On Friday (11 July), a win over Tanzania could secure their place in the quarter-finals, bringing the fairytale ending well within reach.
Whether or not that dream is fulfilled, Jermaine Seoposenwe will walk away a legend — a woman who dared to chase ambitions once thought out of reach, and who fought not just for herself, but for an entire generation.
Now, as she prepares to bow out, it’s her teammates’ turn to fight — for her. One last time.
