South African journalist Robert Marawa believes Fiacre Ntwari will be back to his best.

Renowned South Africa sports journalist Robert Marawa is optimistic Rwanda goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari will be back to his best soon. Ntwari made a mega move from TS Galaxy to Kaizer Chiefs in June with Chiefs paying a transfer fee in the excess of $400,000 for his services.

The goalkeeper is yet to find his rhythm as he is still adapting. He suffered an injury in Amavubi's AFCON qualifier win over Nigeria in Uyo which has further derailed his progress.

Marawa is sure Ntwari will bounce back and prove that he is among the best in the Betway Premiership.

"Fiacre Ntwari is a good goalkeeper. Kaizer Chiefs wouldn't have bought him from TS Galaxy if he wasn't that good. He got the attributes of a proper goalkeeper; tall, lanky, you know you will struggle a bit when you come to a big team like Kaizer Chiefs. This is a team which is used to winning but for the past 10 years haven't won a single trophy," Marawa told Time Sports.

"If you come through and you are not used to the atmosphere, the big crowd, and the pressure which comes with it, maybe you will make a couple of mistakes. But I don't think Ntwari should put his head down. He is a brilliant athlete and a great goalkeeper. With time, the coaching department of Kaizer Chiefs will give him opportunity to show his best. And who knows, in the Orlando Pirates-Kaizer Chiefs derby he might get to start again," he added.

The former AS Kigali goalkeeper has made nine appearances in all competitions for Kaizer Chiefs this season, conceding 14 goals and keeping one clean sheets.
