The second monthly Newsmakers List ahead of third edition of the gsport Annual List event in December 2021, presents a star-studded line-up as women in sport continue to dominate headlines across the globe.
The Momentum Proteas team lead the list after earning a well-deserved ODI series whitewash over Pakistan and securing a T20i series win with a game still to be played. Squad members Shabnim Ismail, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Trisha Chetty and Tazmin Brits feature alongside the national side for their outstanding individual achievements.
