South Africa defeated Tunisia 1-0 last night's 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nation's quarterfinal courtesy of Jermaine Seopesenwe's 14th-minute strike. Not only did this book them a place in the semifinals next Monday, but it also ensured automatic passage to next year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

According to IOL, a jubilant coach Desiree Ellis said:
