Mignon du Preez is the most capped South African women’s cricketer, who captained South Africa from 2011 to 2016. She is included in the South African Hall of Fame and stadium gates at Supersport Park are named in her honour. Mignon represented South Africa more than 260 times and is a participant in the Fairbreak Global tournament. On She Speaks Sport today, Mignon talks about life since retiring from international cricket in 2022, her experience of the T20 Women’s World Cup and the emotions she felt while commentating through the tournament. We talk about legacy and I ask the question, “What do you want to be remembered for?” Mignon shines a light on her faith and how she has always lived by the belief that God has gifted her with talents, and what she does with those talents is her gift to God. We also speak about life lessons from the field and beyond, as well as her unique approach to captaincy and how she kept the team motivated through the losses and the hard times.
