Bafana Bafana legend Itumeleng Khune has once again paid tribute to national team captain Ronwen Williams following South Africa’s historic FIFA World Cup campaign in North America.

The former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper continues to publicly show admiration for Williams’ rise, and after Bafana Bafana’s memorable run to the knockout stages, Khune took to social media to honour the Mamelodi Sundowns skipper once more.

South Africa captured the imagination of the country after reaching the FIFA World Cup knockout rounds for the first time in the nation’s history before eventually falling to Canada in the Round of 32.

Throughout the tournament, Williams once again emerged as one of Bafana’s standout figures, producing crucial saves and commanding performances that reinforced his growing reputation as one of Africa’s elite goalkeepers.
