Defending champions Banyana Banyana look set to defend thier COSAFA Women's Cup title following an impressive 6-0 win against Malawi.
Linda Motlhalo grabbed a hat-trick to lead South Africa to the win and set up a semi final clash against Uganda.
Banyana top their pool with a maximum haul of nine points and will play East African guest nation on Thursday at 15h30.
It was also a special day for defender Janine van Wyk who was capped for the 150th time at senior level.Van Wyk who has returned home from a 2 year still in the USA is now the most capped female footballer in Africa.
