Dludlu became the first woman to guide a national women's side to World Cup qualification and is no doubt a future candidate for the Banyana Banyana job.
But Dludlu is concerned that opportunities for women to develop and get top jobs in the country are minimal, and is hoping things improve going forward.
“I became a student of the game from my playing days. When I retired in 2015 I was already coaching because it was a passion of mine. But we still have a lack of women that are involved in the game. It’s lack of opportunities because we don’t have professional structures and we don’t have academies, so women don’t get hired a lot more to be in places where they are constantly under pressure and working to become better.
“There’s a lack of us qualified coaches, coaches that have a chance to coach and work on our skills and to get the exposure to be overseas, and learn from exchange programmes so that we know what the rest of the world is doing.
“The support from the association is enormous because right now my assistant is a former Banyana Banyana player. The head coach of the senior team is a former Banyana Banyana captain, so they are trying hard to bring us back into the system, but also because we want to be involved in there. So, I think a lack of resources and a lack of funding is what we face and it makes it difficult for a lot of us to be in structures and working constantly. We still don’t have goalkeeper coaches who are in development structures and be part of the bigger scheme of things. With the help of people, courses and funding, it will help with exposure.”
