COPPERBELT LADIES COACH’S REACTION
“We are very happy to have got a promotion. Some people had already written our obituary. But I believed that those girls are hard workers that’s why we managed to overcome everything here,” coach Karabo Selabe told journalists in Polokwane.
“The work is not over as yet because we have a final to play on Sunday so we can win the prize money.
“As I can check, I’m the youngest coach in this tournament. I can’t even express myself because I’m over the moon because of the excitement.”
