LONDON 2012: Banyana Banyana Will Make Africa Proud, Mkhonza.

Joseph Mkhonza.

Head Coach of Banyana Banyana of South Africa, Joseph Mkhonza, has said that the international friendly against Nigeria's Super Eagles was a testimony that his team would go far in the women event in the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The coach, while talking with Sportsweight.blogspot.com, said playing a barren draw against Falcons was an indication that the team's training tour of Brazil and the United States of America was not in vain as they would not relent in their efforts to present a strong side at the Games in London.

Mkhonza, whose team returned from a two months training tour, explained that the Falcons still remain a force to reckon with in African women football as he commends the Falcons for beautiful display of soccer artistry, adding that the match has shown the weakness of his team and the technical crew would soon embark on a thorough training programme ahead of the Games.

He urged Falcons technical crew to engage the team in series of friendlies in a bid to retain the African Women Championship trophy, stressing that e would love to meet Nigeria again because the Falcons have  football players who are exposed to international football and the gesture has added value to the team.
