Andile Dlamini, Banyana Banyana's first-choice goalkeeper, has emphasized her friendship with fellow keeper Kaylin Swart, urging fans to avoid creating divisions within the squad ahead of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) in Morocco.

Dlamini, who led the team to their first Wafcon title in 2022, was benched during the 2023 World Cup in favor of Swart, who helped qualify for the knockout stage before losing to the Netherlands.

Despite Swart's criticism for aerial ball handling, Dlamini insists the duo remain united, with both players having equal match time in recent fixtures.

Coach Desiree Ellis' choice between the two for Wafcon remains unclear, but Dlamini stressed that their camaraderie is crucial for South Africa's success.The team faces Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Tanzania in Group B, with a focus on securing a second Wafcon title and World Cup qualification.Dlamini's message highlights the importance of team harmony over individual rivalry, reflecting her commitment to collective success.
