Former Banyana captain urges players to speak out

JOHANNESBURG - As uncertainty reigns on the way forward for Banyana Banyana’s World Cup campaign, former captain Portia Modise has urged the current crop of players to speak out.

The players did not take to the field against Botswana on Sunday after their concerns about preparations for the showpiece were met with hostility by the association.

Instead, a hastily arranged group of players kitted out in national colours, honoured the fixture.

The team is set to depart the country on Wednesday for the Fifa Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
