Ronwen Williams is being criticised on social media for the South African U/23 loss at the Olympics. The team picked up no points in the group stages, leading to them being knocked out of the competition.
A conversation was started on social media by a fan account, asking social media users if they think Williams is to blame for the poor performance. Since he was the goalkeeper, clean sheets are expected but he didn't deliver.

The argument was whether his defence keeps letting him down or if he's at fault. A look at his stats was taken as well and he's only collected three clean sheets in national colours.

"I think the AmaZulu keeper is far better than Williams so according to me we need that guy in our national team because Williams has already failed."
@KhosaXikombiso commented:
"We need a new Bafana goalkeeper. Ronwen is a scam."
@anathikakancu said:
"This is concerning, 3 clean sheets in 4 years? Sisancekelele ntoni."
@SihleGeneral10 commented:
"Both ways... He has failed himself and our defence also has been lacking."
Itumeleng Khune offered a new contract at Kaizer Chiefs
Briefly News previously reported that after plenty of speculation about his future, Kaizer Chiefs has offered Itumeleng Khune an extension on his contract. Khune will be staying at Naturena and is breaking a record in the process to become the longest-serving player for the club.
Khune was rumoured to be joining a club in Qatar but it seems like he's decided to stay in South Africa. Daniel Akpeyi currently has the number one goalkeeping position but it looks like Itu wants to fight for his place.
Khune will be equalling Patrick ‘Ace’ Ntsoelengoe's record for being the longest-serving player. The goalkeeper has been under contract at Kaizer Chiefs since 2004, staying loyal to the club for years.
