Scrumhalf and Junior Springbok Camelitha Malone, outside back Chuma Qhawe and Junior Springbok Shaunique Alexander have all put pen to paper to join the Daisies.

Malone arrives in the capital from Western Province, where she made her mark as an explosive attacking player.

The former Brackenfell Rugby Club player had an impressive Women’s Premier Division debut in April, scoring a brace to set her team up for a comeback victory. That form continued throughout the season, posing a potent threat against her new teammates in the final, which left her new management convinced that she needed to become a Daisy.

“Camelitha had a stellar 2024 season, and we got to witness her prowess over two legs both home and away, and nothing phased her,” said head coach, Hayden Groepes.

“We thought she would be a wonderful fit for our growing environment, and her desire to become better will do us a world of good as we march towards our goals for the coming season.

“She has some good company in her role, and that competition for places will make this team better and more driven.”

Qhawe – who has 11 international caps – joins her twin sister Chumisa at the home of champions. The pair made a name for themselves by powering through the midfield, and they are now reunited in the capital. “It will be good to play with my twin again,” says Qhawe.

Alexander arrives at the club having spent time with Eastern Province, where she made her Women’s Premier Division debut two seasons ago. The outside back says she is thrilled to be surrounded by the quality players in the Daisies camp.

“I am excited to be here, to play alongside amazing players. I have certain goals that I would like to achieve and the Daisies can help me grow to become a better player with more knowledge, skills, and discipline because of the quality of this team from coaches to players.

“I am excited to get going and do my best to help the team achieve even greater things.”
