President Ramaphosa meets Banyana heroes at Union Buildings, pledges 'equal pay for equal work' | Sport

President Cyril Ramaphosa has heaped praise on Banyana Banyana after their Women's Afcon triumph.

It was Banyana's first triumph in an Afcon final in six attempts, and South Africa's first major silverware since Bafana Bafana won the continental showpiece all the way back in 1996. "Today our hearts are filled with pride. They are bursting at the seams with a great deal of joy," said Ramaphosa. "When you took to the pitch on Saturday night in Rabat, we as South Africans - 60 million of us - were with you in spirit. We watched you, like gladiators, go to war.

"We need to give added remuneration to these young women who have made our country so proud. We must eliminate the whole process of unequal pay out of our system. When men and women do equal work, the remuneration must be the same."President Cyril Ramaphosa hugs and greets Banyana Banyana squad captain Janine Van Wyk
