'Hugo Broos is crazy; he could've taken Fletcher Smythe-Lowe to AFCON not lead singer Ricardo Goss! But we have Kaizer Chiefs duo Brandon Petersen & Bruce Bvuma to succeed Ronwen Williams' - Fans

There have been questions about the future of South Africa in terms of the goalkeeping department, which has, in recent years, relied on the Mamelodi Sundowns star, who has a couple of years left before calling it a day in the national team. The likes of Sipho Chaine have been tipped to take over, but he sometimes struggles for consistency.

Recently, former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi blamed Premier Soccer League teams for over-reliance on foreign goalkeepers.

Chippa United's number one is Nigeria's Stanley Nwabali. For a very long time, Uganda's Denis Onyango was Sundowns' top goalkeeper, and Richards Bay have Kenya's Ian Otieno, who competes with Uganda's Jamal Salim Magoola.

Polokwane City heavily depends on another Kenyan goalkeeper, Brian Bwire, while Elvis Chipezeze of Magesi is from Zimbabwe.

Baloyi argues it might have problems in the future, especially when Ronwen Williams calls it a day. Have a look at what the fans said as sampled by GOAL.

Bring top goalkeepers to compete with locals
I hold a different view; I think it doesn't really matter how many goalkeepers we bring in from other countries, we must just bring top-class custodians that are not going to be easily put on the bench. That will force our local guys not to relax but to work even harder to break through - Steven Lethabo

We have a solid Bafana Bafana
Bafana Bafana had a bad AFCON, but it is not over. We actually have a solid team with a few changes needed. The AFCON results were a wake-up call to players who think they are automatically in the team, and now the coach is forced to bring in players he overlooked. I hate that we did not go further, but I think it’s what we needed - Bryce Packard
