Nthabiseng Majiya, who has enjoyed a solid start to her Sundowns Ladies career with 8 goals in her first 10 appearances, has picked the athletes who have inspired her the most. “I do have footballers that inspire me, which are Sam Kerr and Neymar. I love the way Kerr scores her goals, as you can see at Chelsea Ladies. She is also the all-time leading Australian international scorer. Neymar is another legend of the game and his skills are just incredible,” said the Sundowns Ladies striker.
When asked about which Olympic sport other than football she could compete in, Majiya said, “Rugby because I have speed and strength. I love watching rugby a lot in my free time. I am also looking forward to watching South Africa during the Rugby Sevens in Paris.”
In the football games, the highly talented striker also backed Nigeria and Zambia to make the continent proud, “Both teams are good and I believe that they will represent us well. They have the passion and the skills to succeed. I am also hoping that someday I will represent South Africa at the Olympics tournament because I have the potential to succeed at that level.” In the last Olympics in Tokyo, Tatjana Schoenmaker’s gold and silver medals ensured South Africa finished as the third-best African nation, with Kenya securing four gold medals and Uganda two gold medals.
