Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was the only double winner at the CAF Awards 2024, clinching two prestigious accolades in a glitzy event held in Marrakech, Morocco on Monday evening.
The Port Elizabeth-born shot-stopper was awarded the CAF Men’s Interclub Player of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year awards, only missing out on the African Footballer of the Year award, which went to Nigerian star Ademola Lookman.
Williams’ spectacular penalty saves at the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Cote d’Ivoire 2023 and the quarter-final shootout win against Cape Verde as he captained South African national side, Bafana Bafana, to the bronze medal, have made him a household name in African football.
Meanwhile Bafana Bafana mentor Hugo Broos received a nomination for the CAF Coach of the Year award, which was ultimately claimed by Ivory Coast’s Emerse Fae, who led the Elephants to AFCON glory.
