• The South African goalkeeper was rated as the best in the country by the trainer in a recent interview
• Molefe is yet to feature for the Soweto giants' first team, but he's been advised to be patient and keep working

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper assistant trainer, Aubrey Mathibe, has rated Amakhosi youngster Bontle Molefe as a special talent.

The Kaizer Chiefs' reserve goalkeeper is seen as a special talent by the trainer, who believes he's the one for the future for the Glamour Boys.

Nasreddine Nabi's side struggle with getting a good goalkeeper in the summer, with Fiarce Ntwari failing to justify is signing after he was relegated to the bench due to poor performance in between the sticks.

Bruce Bvuma has since regained the starting berth, while Amakhosi are considering letting Ntwari go and signing a new shot-stopper in the summer.

Mathibe rates Molefe as the best goalkeeper he's ever seen in SA

In an interview with FARPost, Mathibe claimed Molefe is the best goalkeeper he's ever seen in South Africa ignoring the likes of Ronwen Williams, Sipho Chaine, Itumeleng Khune and a host of other top shot-stopper in the South African league.

The Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper trainer also offered some advice for the young goalie about being patient and waiting for his time to play for the club's first team.

"I believe he's one of the best goalkeepers I’ve ever seen in South Africa," the Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeping coach told FARPost.

"As a goalkeeper, patience is key, and I know that from experience. I always remind him of this. I was at Kaizer Chiefs myself, and I played only two games.

"I was there, fully committed to my role, and doing well because at Kaizer Chiefs if you're not performing, you won't last. For someone as talented as him, patience is crucial. He needs to keep working hard because success will come, but only with time and dedication.

"Being a goalkeeper is different from being an outfield player. Sometimes you might sit on the bench for two or three years without playing, so it’s important to stay patient and keep a positive mindset. But when you finally get that opportunity, you have to seize it."

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian international Stanley Nwabali from Chippa United.

They've been on the Super Eagles goalkeeper's transfer since his world class performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast last year.

Amakhosi are yet to make their intentions known if they are going to promote Molefe to the first team next season or go for a new goalkeeper in the summer.
