Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Ramaphosa used his weekly newsletter on Monday to highlight women’s sports following the performances of Banyana Banyana at the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup and the Proteas Netball team at the World Cup in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

“Our women\u2019s national football team, Banyana Banyana, the reigning Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations champions, has delivered some stunning performances in the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup taking place in Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur women\u2019s netball team, the Proteas, put in a strong showing at the Netball World Cup that ended in Cape Town yesterday.<\/p>\n

In February we hosted the first ICC Women\u2019s T20 Cricket World Cup to take place on African soil. Our national team made history as the first South African team to reach the final.<\/p>\n

\u201d He said the government is working towards increasing the representation of women in sports.<\/p>\n

“Our nation\u2019s sportswomen have proven themselves, time and again.<\/p>\n

It is up to us, as a society, to provide the necessary environment that will enable a new generation of women and girls to thrive and excel in sports.<\/p>\n

Working together as government, business, and the sporting fraternity we can level the playing field for women\u2019s sports in our country. And by so doing, we will take another step toward a more equal society,” said Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n
