It’s a bittersweet experience to finally win the African women’s championship after missing out in the finals five times.

The Moroccans put up a fantastic performance and never gave up till the final whistle. As a result, they should be applauded for their bravery and perseverance.

It was a fantastic exhibition of football on the African continent between two worthy finalists.

Both sides displayed excellent soccer on the field. In the final, just one team is proclaimed victorious. Hard luck Morocco. Dust yourself off, lift your head up, face the world and never up, your time is coming.

Congratulations Banyana Banyana! We appreciate you for spreading joy across the country at a time when we really need it the most.

Now is the time to rejoice since you have worked hard to reach where you are, as Ryan Holiday warns in his book Ego is the Enemy, don’t over-celebrate. After the party is over, it’s time to get back to work and start preparing for the FIFA World Cup.

Glory and praise belong to God.
