Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa has been in fine form for the Buccaneers since taking over from Moeneeb Josephs, with his displays between the sticks not having gone unnoticed.

Following his regular inclusion in the Bucs starting line-up, Meyiwa has earned himself several call-ups to Gordon Igesund’s Bafana Bafana set-up. The 25-year-old was part of Igesund’s 2013 Africa Cup of Nations squad, testament to his ability in goals.

Meyiwa has been playing second fiddle to Itumeleng Khune for South Africa in the national team, however says that he is constantly learning from the Kaizer Chiefs captain and his former junior national teammate. 

The Pirates keeper said that he enjoys his time in camp with Khune and Wayne Sandilands, when on national duty.

“It is good to be in the same team with Itumeleng Khune. I think I am in the national team because coach Gordon Igesund saw my form at Pirates and I am enjoying my time with the Bafana set-up.

“You know Khune is a good goalkeeper and person, and I have learnt a lot from him since U20 and U23. And as for Sandilands, he is a good guy and we enjoy each others company. We are a team, together,” Meyiwa said.
