Kaylin Swart, Banyana Banyana goalkeeper on her world cup experiences, deleting social media, career and more

My guest was, without a doubt one of the most talked about players at the just ended Fifa Women’s World Cup. Every single social media platform, she trended. And for the large part of it, she was heavily criticised. Even on times where she saved our blushes, many chose to overlook all her good work and focused on the negatives. But ever the trooper she is, she held her head up high and gave it her outmost 150%. One hell of an experienced campaigner, she plays with so much passion and commitment. And you know what, she is so used to being the face of adversity it almost doesn't shake her now I'm certain. At just 15, she had to carry the shame of South Africa’s failure at the 2010 Under-17 Fifa Women’s World Cup, our poor investment in the women’s game was rudely exposed when Banyana conceded 17 goals in three games at that global showpiece. She was in goal for all three games. Fast forward to 13 years later, Kaylin Swart is still taking the stick. Suppose comes with been a goal minder. Never an easy position out there. What a pleasure it is to have Banyana goalie. Kaylin today, so much to unpack and unlock with this very underrated yet exceptional player
