NEW DEAL FOR BRUCE BVUMA

In related news, Chiefs goalkeeper Bvuma is no longer facing an uncertain future at Naturena.

According to a new report, the Naturena Academy graduate is moments away from signing a new deal extension.

“Kaizer Chiefs are looking to extend the contract of Bruce Bvuma after his stellar performances in the last few DStv Premiership games before the break,” iDiskiTimes’ Sinethemba Makonco reported.

“iDiski Times understands that Chiefs have tabled a new two-year deal for the shot stopper, as they look to tie him down to avoid losing him on a free transfer, as he is in the last six months of his current contract.

“A new contract that has been tabled is until June 2026,” the report concluded.
