South Africa HubSouth Africa's national team is led by captain Ronwen Williams, who is on the verge of breaking records with 66 caps and counting. He is expected to equal Andre Arendse's tally of 67 caps when Hugo Broos’ side faces Canada in the World Cup Round of 32 on Sunday.
What's driving Williams' success?
Ronwen Williams is on the verge of becoming the second most-capped goalkeeper in the nation's history, trailing only the legendary Itumeleng Khune, who sits at the top of the mountain with 91 appearances.
How does Williams lead his team?
Arendse believes the captain’s success is rooted in a unique style of leadership, where Williams commands respect through his performances rather than just his words.
What's next for Williams and Bafana Bafana?
The modern game affords more opportunities for players to rack up caps at a younger age, but Arendse insists that Williams’ ability to maintain his level of performance is what sets him apart.
| Player | Caps |
|---|---|
| Itumeleng Khune | 91 |
| Andre Arendse | 67 |
| Ronwen Williams | 66 |
Can Williams play into his 40s?
Arendse believes the current Bafana captain has the physical and mental tools to follow in his footsteps and continue playing at the highest level for years to come.
