	[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Defending champions South Africa have secured their place in the semifinals of the 2011 COSAFA Women’s Championship after a 4-0 Group B victory over Botswana at the Gwanzura Stadium in Harare on Sunday. Following their 4-1 success over Zambia a day earlier, Banyana Banyana have assured they cannot finish outside the top two in the pool. The South Africans were always in control and had the lead on 16 minutes as skipper Amanda Dlamini scored with a powerful shot that left Thuto Ramafifi in the Botswana goal with no chance. Noko Matlou added to her brace on Saturday with another goal as she netted from 35-yards just after halftime. Mamelo Makhabane then scored a contender for Goal of the Tournament with a superb effort that left Ramafifi helpless once more. Zanele Sukazi made it 4-0 to South Africa just before the final whistle to keep them on course for the defence of their title. Also in Group B on Sunday, East African guests Tanzania sealed their spot in the Last 4 with a 2-0 victory over Zambia, who drop out of the competition. Asha Sada Rashid gave the Tanzanians the lead midway through the first half, before they added a second to seal the points. Meanwhile in Group A, Lesotho edged Mozambique 3-2 to keep their semifinal hopes alive. It was 2-2 at halftime with Boitumelo Rabale providing the pick of the goals for Lesotho midway through the first half, before Amelia Banze equalised for Mozambique with their best effort, a superb free-kick from 30-yards. Rabale netted a fine winner for Lesotho though as she curled in a shot from distance than left Celeste Cuna in the Mozambique goal with no chance. The other match in Group A between host nation Zimbabwe and Malawi will be played on Monday so as to allow visiting FIFA President Sepp Blatter to attend. The top two sides in each pool advance to the semifinals, with the winners there to go head-to-head in the final on July 9. The semifinal losers will play for bronze in a third-place play-off.
