Springbok Women's captain jets off to Spain after impressive performances
CAPE TOWN - Springbok Women’s captain, Babalwa Latsha, is breaking records and barriers by becoming the first South African female rugby player to showcase her talents in Europe.
The 25-year-old from Khayelitsha secured an international contract to play for Spanish women’s rugby team, SD Eibar Femenino, making her the first African woman in the sport to go pro. Latsha was scouted by a Spanish scouting agency during the Springbok Women’s match against Spain in September. And while she’s remaining silent about what the prestige opportunity will entail, she told Weekend Argus she would be leaving for Spain on Tuesday night.
