TimesLIVE reports that President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for equal pay for equal work in football and other sports.
Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said on Thursday: “The president calls on the leadership of the sport and those associated with the game to ensure the equal pay for equal work principle is adhered to in football and in all women’s sport.” Briefing the media at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, Magwenya congratulated the national women's football team for their win against Italy on Wednesday. Magwenya said the win was a fitting tribute as SA observed Women’s Month, adding the country had witnessed “the boldness of the Banyana Banyana team”. SA has a semi-professional women’s league and only four Premier Soccer League clubs have women's teams. Before their departure for their second consecutive World Cup appearance, Banyana were involved in a standoff with the SA Football Association over pay.
