Kaizer Chiefs set to secure goalkeeper's future with new deal
According to a source, Amakhosi have set the wheels in motion to retain the services of first-choice goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, as part of a broader mission to lock down their core players at Naturena.
A well-placed insider confirmed that Chiefs have launched formal talks with Bvuma, aiming to extend his stay beyond the current contract.
'Bruce Bvuma is one of the goalkeepers the club still wants to keep beyond his contract in June 2026. That's why talks between all the involved parties have started. They are believed to be working on tying down as many players as they can, and he is one of them with whom talks have started,' the source revealed.
The proposed deal on the table includes a two-year contract extension. That would keep Bvuma at the club until June 2028. Chiefs believe the 30-year-old shot-stopper can continue playing a pivotal role in their push for silverware during the next three seasons.
Since his promotion to the senior side in 2016. Bvuma has steadily grown into a dependable figure in the Amakhosi camp. Club officials now see him as an important part of their leadership group. And want him to remain integral to their plans well into the future.
With just one year left on his current deal, the potential extension comes at a crucial time. As Chiefs look to reinforce consistency and experience within the dressing room.
Does the Kaizer Chiefs star deserve an extension on his current contract?

Kaizer Chiefs are everywhere — sparking a national dialogue in SA
Celebrating Chiefs' victories — and South African resilience — one tot of tequila at a time. Photo: Backpagepix Image: Backpagepix Kaizer Chiefs — they're everywhere And by everywhere, I mean especially after they won their first two matches of the Betway Premiership. Even more so if you are caught wearing an Orlando Pirates shirt after those victories, with my side of the aisle looking rather grim following the opposite results — two losses in as many matches. Walk around town in the iconic black, the skull and crossbones embroidered on your breast, and you are more than likely to get the customary greeting — arms crossed at the wrist — or a sardonic smile from those who follow the Glamour Boys, challenging you with an 'Amakhosi for life.'

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Find yourself in a pub, and you might just be forced to shoot a grim shot of tequila, crowned by a slice of orange, to the health and victory of Chiefs — as was the case this past Wednesday at a launch event wholly unrelated to Premier Soccer League matters. That's the type of national dialogue I enjoy … the one that reminds me that, when it comes to South Africans, we are all very much the same despite creed and politics; and in spite of what the toxic cesspools of social media will spout, or our political leaders might blast over a loudhailer. And it doesn't take an eye-watering amount of money to inspire it. Truth be told, domestic football needs Chiefs to be successful. They remain the biggest brand — the marquee sporting name in this country — regardless of the success of Mamelodi Sundowns or Orlando Pirates, the Springboks lifting two consecutive Rugby World Cups, or the Proteas finally getting their hands on a major ICC trophy … cup … mace … thing. Despite the PSL's shoddy administration — poor officiating, suspect scheduling, last season's Royal AM saga, and clubs being sold like cookies at a church bazaar — football in this country continues to thrive. That resilience is mirrored across other major sporting codes, which survive despite questionable boardroom decisions and a lack of adequate state support. All goals scored within regulation time contribute towards our Goals For Charity initiative. After our Quarter Final round, we're sitting at a whopping 15 goals! The #MTN8 Defending Champions, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns both contributed 6 of those goals! 🔥 How… — MTN8 Wafa Wafa! (@MTN8) August 14, 2025 If our football can flourish under such conditions, it's no surprise that South Africans as a people continue to persevere through far greater challenges — a resilience that defines us beyond the pitch. Our sovereignty might be undermined by nations with ridiculous foreign policy agendas, while graft cripples infrastructure and service delivery, yet no nation can pull itself up from the bootstraps like we do. If recent sporting events have proven anything, it's this: we South Africans are a bunch of champions, consistently let down only by the fumbling ineptitude of our leaders across the political spectrum — right to left. On Saturday, that camaraderie will once again be on display.

Kaizer Chiefs: Ex-Pirates duo of Mako and Monyane's expectations
Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze has touched on recruitment at the club and how Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane are treated no differently. The duo were signed after parting ways with Orlando Pirates in June. Some fans have were under the impression that Amakhosi only signed the two players because they were from Pirates. Kaze though, rubbished the claims, saying the club signs quality players who can fit into their system. Both players have already made their debuts for Kaizer Chiefs this season. 'When you recruit a player, you don't recruit a player differently because he comes from the other side [Pirates]. You recruit a player because of the quality that he has and the work that you see he could be able to do to help the team,' Kaze said, as quoted by SPORTSWIRE . 'I believe that they have already experienced the pressure where they come from, the amount of pressure that we have. It's not only one team, but there are also a lot of teams that are big clubs, and when you come from a big club, then you know the expectations,' he added. Kaizer Chiefs have been the team to watch this season, having won back-to-back league matches and currently top the Betway Premiership.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Decisions on 15 players and three captains
Head coach Nasreddine Nabi's second winter transfer window in charge of Kaizer Chiefs has been anything but quiet. After extended years of pain and underachievement, Amakhosi have opted for an assertive squad overhaul that blends proven experience with youthful promise. Some of the standout arrivals include Asanele Velebayi from Cape Town Spurs and Siphesihle Ndlovu from SuperSport United. The changes at Kaizer Chiefs are not just about numbers; they speak to a strategy aimed at reshaping the team's playing identity from the backline to the forward line. Kaizer Chiefs' new signings Flavio Silva, Ethan Chislett and Nkanyisa Shinga. Image: kcofficial/X Bongani Sam's departure at the beginning of the month brought the tally of exits to eight. On the incoming side, the signing of Asanele Velebayi added further attacking depth and lifted the list of new recruits to seven in just two months…Full story and lists here. From the day he donned Kaizer Chiefs' badge, Inacio Miguel has carried himself with a quiet authority. He's not just a figurehead, he's part of a leadership engine that pulls the entire squad forward. This confidence and aggression have proved vital in lifting morale and performance early this season, with two wins out of two over Stellenbosch FC and Polokwane City. The 29-year-old Angolan was officially named the new captain after Yusuf Maart left Amakhosi to play his football in Austria for SV Ried. The former Petro de Luanda star has settled seamlessly into the role, but has been quick to point out that the weight of the captaincy extends far beyond himself. Leadership, he insists, is shared. According to the Kaizer Chiefs skipper, his teammates Brandan Petersen, Zitha Kwinika, and Reeve Frosler are captains without armbands… Full story here.
