Former Bafana Bafana of South Africa star Alex Heredia has expressed his disappointment following Kaizer Chiefs’ decision to sign Rwandan national team goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari.
The South African giants were reportedly interested in Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who is expected to leave Kaizer Chiefs this summer.
Nwabali has established himself as one of the best shot stoppers in the South African top-flight.
The 28-year-old also caught the eye with his impressive displays for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Heredia questioned Chiefs’ decision to sign Ntwari over Nwabali.
“It’s not easy to play on a big, big stage like Kaizer Chiefs, where even during the training sessions you’re under pressure,” Heredia told Kick-off.
“They must not judge him in his first game, they must give him four-five games to see how he reacts. At the moment, he is a good goalkeeper, adding quality to the side.
“For a goalkeeper to perform, he needs a good team. It’s the same with the team. But the Nigerian Nwabali, looks more solid compared to the Rwandan because we’ve seen most of his games.
“I watched him both here in the PSL and at the AFCON, and he’s done quite well. In my opinion, the Nigerian would have been a more positive option for Chiefs.”
