Kgatlana and Co begin journey to retake Africa crown

The Mercury

|

October 21, 2025

BANYANA Banyana’ road to redemption begins this week as Desiree Ellis’ side kicks off their 2026 CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifying campaign against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

- SMISO MSOMI

The 2022 African champions are no longer the continent's queens after finishing a disappointing fourth at the most recent WAFCON in July. That result ended their reign and raised tough questions about the team’s trajectory.

The upcoming qualifying campaign, therefore, offers Ellis and her players a fresh chance to rebuild pride and reclaim their place among Africa’s elite.

The first leg takes place at the Pentecost Martyrs Stadium in Kinshasa tomorrow (6pm kickoff), with the decisive return leg set for FNB Stadium six days later.

The winner on aggregate will move a step closer to Morocco 2026 - and, ultimately, qualification for the 2027 Fifa Womens World Cup in Brazil.

South Africa’s G20 moment exposes deep cracks at home and abroad

OUR COUNTRY is not in the space it should be in. As a host of G20 we would have loved to be a shining star that had dealt poverty a blow, a place where corruption was dealt with firmly, where children have a brighter future, taps are not only running but are oozing label blue water, with smooth streets, where women feel safe, and children are assured of a meal daily.

Hooray for my English teacher who taught me satire

FOR those pupils that played hooky to catch fish while educators were teaching \"metaphors\" \"irony\", \"sarcasm\", etc, and others who missed my tongue-in-cheek take in The Mercury last week regarding the \"swarms\" of Palestinians who would soon not only invade our free country, take-over all our green fields, set up their throne in New Pretoria, and even shunt all of us \"indigenous\" Indian, White and Black people into a fenced off area in the northern Cape, after the international powers that be justified all of that, by \"just saying\" that the \"Palestinians were always here\" and were, in present-time, actually experiencing a holocaust of their own, back home, so really deserved to be freely commuted here: Excuse me!
