The Cosafa Women's Cup winners failed to progress from the second round after bowing out on penalties
South Africa women's head coach Desiree Ellis was disappointed after her side's shock exit from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualifiers on Tuesday.
Banyana Banyana had featured at the last two editions at London 2012 and Rio 2016, before they made their maiden Women's World Cup berth in France and later retained the Cosafa Women's Cup.
On the heels of their huge achievements, Banyana shockingly bowed out 3-2 on penalties in the second round of the qualifying series to northern neighbours Botswana at Orlando Stadium.
