DStv Premiership: ‘I want to repay their faith’ – Bvuma determined to impress at Kaizer Chiefs

After securing a lucrative contract extension, goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma is determined to repay Kaizer Chiefs with excellent performances.

Chiefs travel to Royal AM as the DStv Premiership resumes this weekend after the conclusion of the 2023 AFCON.

The Soweto giants, fresh after announcing the extensions of Bvuma alongside Brandon Petersen and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, will be aiming to get their 2024 off to a winning start.

“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,” Bvuma tells the Chiefs website.

“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.

“Every goalkeeper wants to keep clean sheets, but in truth, it is teamwork that produces them and I appreciate the protection from the defenders, as well as the midfielders and even the strikers because defence begins at the front. I can’t take credit alone. Everybody contributes to keeping goals out.

“Personally, I am happy with my form in the training camp and I am really looking forward to the league resuming this coming weekend,” he declares.

Amakhosi face Royal AM at the Harry Gwala stadium in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday in their first DStv Premiership clash of new year.

“We have done our analysis on Royal AM. We know they are in a position they don’t want to be in, but to be honest, they are a very good team. However, we have done our homework and we know how they play. As Kaizer Chiefs, we take every game as a big game, a final, so we want to go there and collect maximum points, and give our supporters a good start to 2024.”
