During the month of June, women in sport have continued to weather the storm under Covid-19 lockdown and have punched above their weight as sport makes a return, cautiously, around the world.
This has seen as many as 15 monthly newsmakers featured on the #GAL2020 list for June, with the 2020 Momentum gsport Awards taking the lead with five nominations.
We’re going global!!! Two new categories – the African Woman in Sport and Global Woman in Sport – have been introduced into this year’s awards.
Penny Heyns, Hazel Gumede and Zanele Mdodana join the initiative as ambassador, mentor and spokesperson, respectively.
Mamelodi Sundowns were officially crowned SAFA National Women’s League champions after the National Executive Committee opted for an early conclusion due to the novel coronavirus, despite a few matches still to be played.
