I’m living my dream – Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma has opened up on his incredible rise to stardom at Naturena.
After playing second fiddle to Itumeleng Khune for over six years, Bvuma has finally cemented his place as the club’s number one keeper.
“I can’t describe how it feels like to play for Kaizer Chiefs, it’s one of the biggest teams in Africa. It’s every child’s dream to play for his team. We grew up watching Chiefs at a very young age and for me to be part of this brand it’s a blessing,” Bvuma told Vodacom Soccer as quoted by Citizen.
“I thank God for getting here. Like I said, it’s been my dream since I was young watching the likes of Itumeleng (Khune). He is a legend. Therefore I grew up watching him a lot, Brian Baloyi and all the legends of Kaizer Chiefs. They inspired me to also come here and play because for me to be here now is just a blessing.”
