“Ronwen is a perfect example of the development process that a goalkeeper needs,” said Walters, who recently opened his goalkeeping academy to mould youngsters as early as the age of 12 | By MihlaliBaleka PSL BafanaBafana IOLSport

As Ronwen Williams left his line to rush into no man’s land, where he unceremoniously misjudged Moses Simon’s corner-kick, there and then Bafana Bafana’s journey in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations came to an end.

Those informed will know that many at the time were still hungover from Williams’ blunders during the 5-0 loss to Brazil in an international friendly five years ago. At SuperSport - where’s he’s currently the captain - he took the leadership baton at the age of 17, captaining the youth side in the Engen Cup success before gradually being introduced into the senior structures, where he learnt from veterans of the game such as Calvin Marlin, Andre Arendse and Rowen Fernandez.

“SuperSport took him in and they gave him proper fundamentals that goalkeepers need in order to mature. They gave him the platform to make errors, become stronger and mature as goalkeeper - and not a lot of clubs do that.”
