Coach honoured

JOHANNESBURG.- The South African Football Association (Safa) has praised Banyana Banyana striker Portia Modise and Bafana Bafana coach Shakes Mashaba for respectively winning the Sports Star of the Year and Coach of the Year awards at the SA Sports Awards held at the Sandton Convention Centre on Sunday evening. “This has been an incredible year for the Association and its stars,” said Safa president Danny Jordaan. “We hope this will encourage the entire football family to even do better going forward. “ Modise reached a 100-goal milestone during the Caf African Women championships in Namibia where the Senior Women’s National Team narrowly missed a place at next year’s World Cup scheduled for Canada.
