Behind Radebe and Fish on 3 February 1996, Arendse kept Tunisia out for the whole final at FNB Stadium while 80,000 people and Nelson Mandela waited for Mark Williams to settle it in two minutes. That Africa Cup of Nations remains South Africa's only continental title, and Arendse added a third place in 2000, 67 caps, first-choice duty at the 2002 World Cup, the PSL Player of the Season award in 2002 and a league title with SuperSport United. Career record: 67 caps and 0 goals for South Africa; club career at Cape Town Spurs, Mamelodi Sundowns, SuperSport United.
