Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma may be out of contract with Amakhosi at the end of the season, but he says he is not thinking about a new deal at all and that his only focus is to help push the team up the table.
Bvuma, who managed three clean sheets in his last four games at the tail end of last year, is the incumbent number one at Naturena, but he says that as far as he is concerned June is a long way off and there is plenty of work to be done before his contract expires.
Speaking to The Sowetan Bvuma said: “I think that goes to the management [contract issues]. My job is to perform, and I’m not only performing well because my contract is coming to an end.
“As a player, I set myself targets… that I would like to play a certain number of games and also perform well for the team.
“I want the team to win. I want the team to do well for me and my family because there are a lot of people who are looking up to us.
“I have a village that I need to take care of. So, I’m not only performing for myself. I have a lot of people that I need to perform well for so that I could take care of them.”
When the league resumes in mid-February after the AFCON break, Chiefs will face TS Galaxy on 13 February and then Royal AM a few days later, and Bvuma says he is hopeful that the team will resume in the same form they showed prior to the break.
“We are looking forward to the resumption of the league. We’ve been working very hard, and I hope that when we resume the season, all the hard work that we have been putting through shows up.
“We know that we need to perform. Before we close, we were doing well and of course, we went into the break, but we are looking forward to the remainder of the season.
“As I mentioned, we have been working very hard. All we want now is the season to resume and we get going.
“We would like to go back to Africa to play CAF games. It is one of our dreams, our target for the season.
“We want to do well in the Nedbank Cup, so we are looking forward to all the games, and winning the trophy will be great,” he said.
