The Proteas Women's buck now stops with Mashimbyi
Cape Argus
|April 16, 2026
SHARP TURN
PROTEAS women's coach Mandla Mashimbyi.
(Backpagepix)
WHEN a head coach chooses to overhaul virtually his entire backroom staff less than two months — and only one series — prior to a T20 World Cup, it is hard to believe that all is well within the team.
The timing of Monday's removal of Baakier Abrahams (batting coach), Bongani Ndaba (fielding coach), and Zane Webster (strength and conditioning coach) from the Proteas Women's setup certainly came as a surprise.
All three are highly professional and skilled in their respective fields, with Abrahams (Sunrisers Eastern Cape), Ndaba (Pretoria Capitals), and Webster (MI Cape Town) even being seconded to Betway SA20 men's franchises during the women's off-season.
The trio played an integral role in the Proteas Women's team reaching successive ICC T20 World Cup finals, while Webster was also part of the coaching staff that broke the glass ceil-
ing by progressing to a first-ever T20 World Cup final in Cape Town back in 2023.
