Bruce Bvuma Responds to Itumeleng Khune’s Disappointment Over Goalkeeping Advice in South Africa

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma has finally addressed the comments made by his former teammate, Itumeleng Khune, after Khune expressed his disappointment with Bvuma’s approach to advice.

Khune’s Disappointment with Bvuma

Last week, Khune, the former Bafana Bafana captain, shared his frustrations with Bvuma, suggesting that the current first-choice keeper for Kaizer Chiefs failed to take his advice during their time together.

Khune had been mentoring Bafana Bafana’s other goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, and expressed that he felt Williams took the advice to heart. He recalled telling Williams, “We are not here to make friends.

We are here to compete. You make me better, I make you better, we make the national team better.”

Khune then puzzled over why Bvuma hadn’t embraced this competitive spirit, as he explained in his interview with iDiski Times, questioning Bvuma’s response to the advice.

Bvuma’s Respect and Focus on the Team

In response, Bruce Bvuma took a respectful tone, acknowledging Khune’s legendary status in South African football.

“Itu is a club legend, what he has done for our team, I don’t think anyone of our generation will do,” Bvuma said, recognizing Khune’s significant contributions both at the club and national level.

While he made it clear that he still communicates with Khune, Bvuma emphasized that his primary focus lies on performing well for Kaizer Chiefs and improving his own game.

“My focus is the team, my focus is me doing well for the team and also making sure that I play to my full potential,” said Bvuma.

Moving Forward: The Focus on Personal Growth

Bvuma’s response underscores his commitment to his role and suggests that he values the advice given by Khune but prefers to focus on his growth and the needs of his team.

Although the comments made by Khune may have raised eyebrows, it appears that Bvuma remains determined to make the most of his position at Chiefs.

As the debate over the goalkeeping situation continues, many fans are left wondering if Bvuma will improve his game and prove himself as a key figure for both Kaizer Chiefs and the national team moving forward.
