Ellis has now coached Banyana in 15 matches at the COSAFA Women’s Championship, winning 13 and drawing the other two.

It is the third year in a row that coach Desiree Ellis has led her side to regional success, but this time was achieved without any of her overseas stars, as the likes of Thembi Kgatlana, Linda Motlhalo and Leandra Smeda were all missing due to club duty.

The success was deserved for the side, with Banyana comfortably the most accomplished team in the competition, and having also recorded their biggest ever win with a 17-0 hammering of Comoros Islands in their opening match. Zambia offered little resistance, with their main threat coming from former 400-metres sprinter Rachael Nachula, whose explosive pace helped her finish as the leading scorer in the competition with 10 goals.

They had the ball in the back of the net on 18 minutes when Ndimeni’s break on the right saw her cross deflect off a Zambian defender and into the path of Noxolo Cesane, who finished at the back post. But the home side did have the lead three minutes later as Mamello Makhabane's free-kick was spilled by Zambia goalkeeper Hazel Nali and Makhubela blasted the ball into the empty net for her second international goal.
