Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies and Botswana goalkeeper Sedilame Boseja says she wants to help Banya Ba Style return to the Women's CAF Champions League after missing the previous edition.

Speaking to the Mamelodi Sundowns media team, Boseja emphasized the significance of winning the regional COSAFA tournament, which holds the key to the continental championship. The Brazilians have won the Women's CAF Champions League twice since its inception. The Godfrey Sapula-coached team was conspicuously absent from the 2025 Women's CAF Championships League, which was held in Rabat. Boseja says the team wants to dominate the continental space, but she understands that Banyana Ba Style needs to conquer the region first.


"I believe my goal still revolves around the team. Last season, we were disappointed in the COSAFA tournament, so my goal is to help the team in the COSAFA tournament and get back into the Champions League." Said Boseja.

A sports athlete with multiple talents. The 1.80 m tall goalkeeper says she would continue to participate in sports even if she didn't play football. Though she did not enjoy volleyball, her height drew her into the sport. Boseja reveals that if she didn't make it into football, tennis would be her go-to sport due to her goalkeeping acrobatics and use of hands and feet.


"Growing up, I used to play tennis and volleyball." But I was forced to play volleyball because I was tall. If I wasn't in football, I'd still be involved in sports. But, to be specific, I'll choose tennis." Declares Boseja.

Moletsane won the Hollywoodbets Super League Goalkeeper of the Season title for the 2021/2022 season.

"It is always a pleasure to be nominated, and I do not take it for granted, especially given the level of goalkeepers in this nation. Having previously won it, this nomination seems as important since it demonstrates consistency and hard effort throughout the seasons. I'm very pleased of them,...

Said Smeda.  The Velddrif-born standout credits her experience and hard work for being crowned the league's best player. For a long period, South Africa has struggled with goal scoring.

"There is no genuine secret. I believe it ...
