JERMAINE Seoposenwe owes football everything. So, as she prepares for her last Banyana Banyana appearance, she bows out with gratitude and pride.

- MIHLALI BALEKA

Banyana will face Ghana in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations third-place playoff at Stade El Arbi Zaouli in Casablanca on Friday night (kickoff 6pm). The clash is set to mark Seoposenwe’s final outing with Banyana after she announced, prior to the tournament, that she would retire from international football after its conclusion.

The 31-year-old will leave behind a decorated international career, having earned more than 100 caps, won the Watcon title and played in two World Cups.

Her journey with the national team endeared her to fans across the continent and the world, thanks to her silky playing style and eye for goal.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against the Black Queens, the Cape Town-born player reflected on the impact football has had on her life.
