Who is jersey number 12 in Banyana?

Portia Modise earned legendary status with the No. 12 jersey for Banyana Banyana not only on the continent but on the globe, becoming the first African player to score 100 international goals.

An almost replica of Modise has emerged in Kgatlana over the years, instead the latter is full of speed and trickery.

And so, when Banyana lost Kgatlana to an injury for their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Tunisia many Banyana fans were left to wonder where the goals will come from.

After all, this was no ordinary match given that a win would guarantee Banyana passage to the semi-final of the Wafcon and 2023 World Cup in New Zealand and Australia.

But Seoposenwe raised her hand and delivered Banyana to the Promised Land. She had also starred in the Ghana Wafcon when Banyana finished as runners-up, which helped them qualify for their maiden World Cup.

The braided and lanky striker rested the fears of the South Africans with the lone strike of the match in the 14th minute after keeping her composure to beat goalkeeper Salima Jobrani one-on-one.

It was a perfect start for the favorites, who had gone into this match at the back of three wins on the trot in the group stage against rivals Nigeria, debutants Burundi and neighbors Botswana.

Supported by their fans who made the short trip to Rabat, the Tunisians were chasing shadows in the first half. Thanks to Banyana’s conductor Linda Motlhalo.

The 24-year-old defied her pin-point body structure, allowing her feet to leave her markers chasing dust while mesmerizing the crowds – even the Tunisians – with every move and pass.
