Former South Africa national team goalkeepers coach Alejandro Heredia says the Bafana Bafana goalkeeping “situation has become dire” and coach Molefi Ntseki’s options in that department have become limited.
For the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Ghana and Sudan, Ntseki selected regular Ronwen Williams, Itumeleng Khune and AmaZulu’s Veli Mothwa who received his maiden national team call-up at the age of 30.
The inclusion of Khune drew a huge amount of criticism following the veteran goalkeeper’s series of blunders which have cost Kaizer Chiefs this season.
