The technical team going into the COSAFA senior women's championship will be led by Thaloba Nthaga as head coach, Belindah Moatswi as first assistant coach, Thabo Motang as second assistant coach and Joseph Maposa as goalkeeper coach. Dr Ntshise will take the reign as the team doctor with Unaludo as the team physiotherapist,” the statement from BFA says.
