Their induction was disclosed by the South African Football Association (Safa), which said 1996 Africa Cup of Nations-winning legends Lucas Radebe and Neil Tovey, the captain of that team, will also be inducted.<\/p>\n

Sono and Mashaba were Orlando Pirates teammates in the 1970s and also coached Bafana Bafana. Sono formed Jomo Cosmos in the 1980s and played in the US North American Soccer League (NASL).<\/p>\n

Ntsoelengoe and Dladla were teammates at Kaizer Chiefs in the 1970s and 1980s. Ntsoelengoe also played in the NASL and was inducted into the US National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2003.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach [Ellis], who led the South African senior women\u2019s national team to the continental title in 2022 in Morocco, will be inducted with several figures from South African football on November 20,\u201d Safa said.<\/p>\n

The South African Hall of Fame said the inductees are \u201clegends who have shaped the history of South African football and will be celebrated in a grand ceremony that recognises their unparalleled contributions both on and off the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cDistinguished guests from across sports, entertainment and government, including prominent figures in the world of football, will gather to honour these champions whose legacies have inspired generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event will pay tribute to their accomplishments, from the victories that brought South Africa to the forefront of international soccer to their continuous influence in the sport and society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellis said she was \u201chumbled and blessed\u201d by the honour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to also say a very big thank you to the Banyana Banyana players and staff, because we always speak about teamwork and we always say individuals will get recognition and I\u2019m just blessed that I\u2019m one of those individuals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
