BRUCE BVUMA TO SIGN NEW DEAL WITH KAIZER CHIEFS
It was around October last year when Bvuma was linked with an exit.
However, the dismal form of Brandon Petersen and Itumeleng Khune’s ill-discipline gifted Bvuma a golden chance.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper took the chance with both hands. Bvuma, originally from Leratong, Gauteng, went on to contribute to three straight clean sheets before Afcon 2023 got in the way.
Fast forward to 2024, and Bvuma has a new deal.
“Having joined the Club’s youth academy in 2014, Bruce Bvuma’s rise through the ranks has been nothing short of remarkable,” Amakhosi reported.
“From displaying exceptional skills and determination in every match he played, Bvuma swiftly made his way to the first team. His agility, lightning-fast reflexes, and unwavering commitment to the game have solidified his position as one of the most promising young talents in South African football.
“The contract extension, which keeps Bvuma at Kaizer Chiefs until June 2026 with an option to extend for a further year, underlines the Club’s belief in their goalkeeper’s abilities,’ the club added.
MESSAGE TO THE BOSSES
Meanwhile, the Chiefs number one has responded to the good news.
“My thanks go first to the Almighty for blessing me, and I would also like to thank the Club; the Chairman and all the management for believing in me and giving me another chance to be at Kaizer Chiefs,” the keeper said.
“I have been here for 10 years now, if I count the development days, so I am just grateful that they still trust me. I want to repay their faith in me by performing on the field throughout the contract,” the Bvuma added.
In the meantime, Bvuma is expected to start for Chiefs against Royal AM on Sunday. Kick off will be at 17:3 from the Harry Gwala Stadium.
