#HotSeat: We catch up with Banyana Banyana Captain

We were honored and excited to chat Janine van Wyk, captain of our very on national female soccer team. She she started playing soccer at the age of 6, and today she is a role model to all women in South Africa who aspire to play professional soccer. 

Van Wyk made her national team debut in 2005 against Nigeria in the African Women's Championship. She scored a stunning free kick when Banyana recorded their first ever win over Nigeria since the women’s national team was formed in 1993.

Van Wyk scored the only goal of that match, with Banyana knocking Nigeria out of the 2012 African Women's Championship.

Van Wyk played her 100th cap for South Africa against Namibia, winning 2-0^. This year, she became South Africa's most capped player (male or female) when she made her 125th appearance against Cameroon.

^{We put her on the #Hotseat and this is what she had to say:}
