"Everyone has played such a big role in my journey in the national teams – ups and downs. But I can just thank God for sparing me this long in the national team, and making great friends, coaches, staff, the association – for all playing a role in my journey.
"And just continuing to still have that mentality to still be better and still fight for my spot in the team, and still being a part of this winning team is amazing – we've grown so much," she told SABC Sport after her 100th cap.
