Much has been said about Banyana Banyana and the factors behind their success, from the coaching staff down to the players on the field of play. But quite often it is the supporting staff that gets much attention and perhaps one person who has been there behind the scenes ensuring that this team gets all the support it deserves to win conquer Africa is none other than former Banyana Banyana player herself, Lydia Skills Monyepao. Having been part of the team as a player, she understood the challenges that the team would have to overcome, but as the SAFA Chief Operations Officer, Skillz, as she was affectionate, was in this time in a position of power to dribble past any challenge for Banyana Banyana. She joins us on the line.
