Ex-Bafana Bafana midfielder Teko Modise says the country has never had a keeper as good as Ronwen Williams since Khune.
Williams recently penned a new deal with Masandawana extending his stay to 2028. The 32-year-old has been on top form this season helping his club to their seventh successive league title. He was also instrumental in Bafana Bafana’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign earlier this year, helping them finish third place.
“I don’t remember the last time us having a conversation about a goalkeeper this good besides Itumeleng Khune, it’s been such a long time and for him to come out and doing what he’s doing, he’s inspiring so many goalkeepers and sparking that conversation of good goalkeepers.
Since joining Sundowns, Ronwen Williams has been compared to Chiefs keeper Itumeleng Khune. Although the two keepers have never really competed for a spot at Bafana, fans see similarities between the two. Khune emerged as a 20-year-old just like Ronwen the the former is five years older. The former Amakhosi instantly won fans’ hearts and impressed coaches, making him the club’s first-choice keeper for decades. Two years after his debut, Itu was already playing for Bafana.Unlike Khune, Williams only blossomed in his later 20s after showing promise from an early age. In 2021, he was made captain of the national team and all eyes were on him.
With Khune likely to hang his gloves soon, Williams is tipped to lead Downs to CAF glory by Modise. His next big assignment is to help Bafana qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Cyril Ramaphosa calls DA flag burning advert ‘treasonous’
