Jermaine Seoposenwe's last dance: South Africa's mercurial striker chases glorious exit with WAFCON title

Born in the suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa, Jermaine Seoposenwe could hardly have imagined the life she would go on to live.

Not only did she realise her dream of representing her country in football, she also helped shape the most successful era in the history of Banyana Banyana, the national women's team.

A forward of rare quality, her legacy stretches far beyond her 100+ caps or the goals that powered South Africa to their first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in 2022.

She was also part of South Africa's historic Olympic Games debut at London 2012, before returning for her second Games at Rio 2016.

She is a trailblazer, a fighter, and now a woman preparing for her final act on the international stage.
