Chrestinah Thembi "Pikinini" Kgatlana (born 2 May 1996) is a South African professional soccer player who plays as a forward for National Women's Soccer League club Racing Louisville FC and the South Africa women's national team. Quotes " I was a leader in the team and I needed to understand that it’s not just for me but for the country as well." "I am a human being before I am a soccer player. I don’t know too many people who would be able to go through what I went through on a personal and professional level." "I had to protect myself and at the end of the day, you have to draw a line." "The respect has to be both ways." "I was very sad that in this day and age we still have to be fighting. We don’t have to prove anything to anyone and I don’t like this comparison between us and the men’s team."
