The 32-year-old forward says it is an honour to play for the Tshwane giants and that she feels at home. She also touched on her stay with Dinamo Minsk in Belarus. She said their strength lies in unity and recommended a player from ASFAR and their coach. She stated:

“Team spirit. We play for one another, not as individuals. We also have quick players and score lots of goals. The number 11, Fatima Tagnaout from Moroccan, team ASFAR. She’s quick, smart, skilful and can dribble.

"Her passing ability also makes her a great team player and she would bring a lot of positivity especially with her attacking. The coach is very funny, always laughing, easily approachable and off the field, he is like a father and a friend. He is a free-spirited man. However, when it comes to work it strictly works.”

Speaking about her stay in Europe with Minsk, the diminutive hit lady says her game has tremendously improved and that she was forced to become versatile. She added:

“Football-wise I improved technically. Usually, I play as a striker, and in Belarus, I was made to play as a winger so I became a better all-around player. But life outside of football was not enjoyable. The language was a big issue. It was difficult to grasp even though I tried my best to learn.

"I’d like to visit Australia because of the language, culture and the fact that they are very welcoming. I gained many supporters when I played there and I enjoyed my stay.”

The lady, who dresses in Puma Ultra, continued to say her prowess is based on agility, skill and the ability to spot an opportunity to beat any goal minder.

As a parting shot, the Venda-speaking lady continued to state that her dream is to retain all their trophies. She stated her plans should she get a job with SAFA:

“I see the team defending our Hollywoodbets Super League and CAF Women’s Champions League titles as well as playing in the FIFA Women's Club World Cup. In terms of the national team, hopefully we win AFCON and qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 2023.

"I would also start by introducing school football and development academies for girls. Ensuring there are sponsors for females seeking support from the Department of Sport and other organisations to assist with the growth of women’s and girls’ sport across all provinces.”
