The story
Bafana Bafana will hope to claim all three points in Friday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo Brazzaville at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, with skipper Ronwen Williams making a return to the fold.
Williams, who is from Gqeberha, missed Bafana's first two qualifiers against Uganda and South Sudan due to a shoulder injury and will be raring to go in front of his home crowd against Congo.
The Yashin Trophy nominee made an appearance on Umhlobo Wenene FM to build the excitement for Bafana's important qualifier on Friday, which kicks off at 19:00.
Williams discussed tomorrow's match and his Ballon d'Or awards nod with Umhlobo Wenene FM hosts, Pastor The DJ (real name Phiwe Nozewu), Mluleki Ntsabo and Mava Bavuma.
Before concluding the interview, Bavuma took the opportunity to test Ronwen Williams' isiXhosa proficiency. SABC journalist Velile Mnyandu shared a clip of this moment on Twitter/X:
