During his speech, Mthethwa also said that it would soon be a law for Banyana Banyana and Bafana Bafana players to be paid equally.
“It is going to be a law in this country for Banyana Banyana and Bafana Bafana to be paid equally. Because we are making that happen as a government. It’s not only this team, but all women’s teams. We are supporting them as the government.” Mthethwa said during his speech.
There was a lot of excitement for Banyana, with the supporters showing their love for the players when each one was called onto the stage.
