Bafana Bafana captain and Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams reaped big in the 2024 Caf Awards Gala held on Monday.
The 32-year-old custodian won the Men's Goalkeeper of the Year and Men’s Interclub Player of the Year awards. It is the first time a player from the Premier Soccer League has achieved that.
Have a look at what Mzansi said after Williams' achievement.

Sundowns don't buy the best players, they buy good players and make them the best – Sikokele AzoVuya Magcoba
Why didn't they present Africa's Talkative d'Or to Manqoba Mngqithi, he'd have won it outright with no competition – Nthato Tlhapi

Khune with all that jumping, passing, and diving won nothing in Africa. Life is not fair – Brighton Tlou
