Ronwen Williams' latest achievement has left South Africa in awe of the goalkeeper who has been praised as someone who is now an inspiration for millions.
At the 2024 CAF Awards, the 32-year-old found himself walking away with two awards: Goalkeeper of the Year and Men's Interclub Player of the Year.

The shot-stopper was recognised for not only his domestic achievements with Mamelodi Sundowns , but also for the role he played in South Africa's podium finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Williams' superb saves in the continental showpiece hosted in Cote d'Ivoire and rich vein of form at club level also saw him nominated for the Ballon d'Or earlier this year, making him the first player to make the shortlist while representing an African club.
The PSL, in an official statement, celebrated the goalkeeper's achievement with immense pride.
"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 read.
"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," it continued.
"True to his heartfelt acceptance speech last night, his achievement will inspire millions of South African children to dream big and work hard.
"On behalf of all NSL member clubs, the PSL extends its heartfelt and massive congratulations to Ronwen Williams and his club, Mamelodi Sundowns, on this outstanding accomplishment."
