Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has unveiled what surprises him about Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams after being nominated for one of the awards at the Ballon d'Or event.
The South African international has been nominated for the Yashin Trophy award alongside nine other goalkeepers, which automatically classify him as one of the shot-stoppers in the world.
The Sundowns star has garnered votes from local football fans, and he's currently leading the polls on the English website.

The former South African international is not amazed that the Sundowns star is among the nominees for the Yashin Trophy at the 2024 Ballon d'Or award ceremony later this month.
"What surprises me most is how Ronwen bounced back the way he did," he said.
"That is beyond talent. Make no mistake, one of the best-ever keepers I've ever seen in South Africa; take nothing away from all the keepers that I've played with that I've seen.
"Ronwen is something else whether we like it or not. I'm not even surprised he has been selected for that award, and I just want to wish him all the best of luck, and I hope that even South Africans will vote for him."
The former SuperSport star might miss out on the Yashin Trophy award but will likely clinch the best goalkeeper award at the CAF Player of the Year award ceremony for this year.
