Simphiwe Dludlu, the former Banyana Banyana captain and respected football broadcaster, has officially exited SABC Sport after a tenure that began in 2022. Her final broadcast on SoccerZone concluded her impactful role at the station, marking the end of a significant chapter in her career[3][4][5].
In addition to her broadcasting milestones, Dludlu recently made headlines for her analysis of the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) tournament. In a July 2025 interview, she questioned the Super Falcons’ prospects of winning a tenth continental title, asserting that teams like Morocco and Zambia are now strong contenders. Dludlu highlighted that the competitiveness within African women’s football has greatly increased, and she emphasized the need for the former dominant teams, such as Nigeria, to elevate their performance standards to maintain their status[1][2].
