In this episode, we welcome a true game-changer in South African sport. Known across stadiums and continents as “She Ref”, Akhona Makalima is one of the few women in the world trusted to officiate football at the highest level.
From growing up in the Eastern Cape to becoming the first female referee in the Premier Soccer League; and making history by passing the men’s international fitness test. Akhona’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary.
In this powerful conversation, we explore her early life, her unexpected entry into refereeing, and the courage it took to step into a male-dominated space and change the game forever.
In this episode, we dive into:
• Akhona’s childhood and early love for sport
• What led her to choose refereeing instead of playing
• Memories from her very first match as a referee
• Passing the men’s international fitness test
• Breaking barriers in the PSL as a woman
• Navigating pressure, scrutiny, and public expectations
If you're inspired by stories of resilience, purpose, and trailblazing women, this episode is a must-watch.
