South Africa’s elite league governing body, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) has congratulated goalkeeper Ronwen Williams for bagging two CAF awards on Monday.
The Mamelodi Sundowns keeper won the 2024 CAF Goalkeeper of the Year Award and the CAF Men’s Interclub Player of the Year at the gala held in Marrakech, Morocco.
In a statement, the PSL said had made history by becoming the first South African to win the double accolades. “From rising through the development ranks and making his professional debut as a teenager to captaining Bafana Bafana and now earning these accolades, Ronwen’s journey is nothing short of inspirational,” the statement reads.
“This milestone not only highlights his exceptional talent and dedication but also elevates the standing of the PSL and South African football on the global stage. True to his heartfelt acceptance speech last night, his achievement will inspire millions of South African children to dream big and work hard.”
Williams had a stellar season after winning the inaugural African Football League championship, the 2023 AFCON Golden Glove, adding to a similar accolade with Sundowns who defended the Betway Premiership title.
