"I started playing with boys in the streets, then a coach saw me to play in a girls’ team. I moved between clubs, until I came to Mameldi Sundowns only this year."

"It’s been long overdue. I’ve been playing football since I can remember and it’s beautiful to see this tournament happening. We thank CAF for taking this step, so now we can deliver and show our talents."

"It runs in the family as my father used to play football, so I knew I was going to grow up to be a footballer. I was quite lucky with the support I had through my life."

"As an individual, I just want to help the team win."

"As a team we want to win, and we believe in ourselves. This will happen by taking each team at a time."

"Focus on your dream! Choose your circle! And don’t neglect your school! Just believe in yourself, you don’t need anyone."
