Kaizer Chiefs' Bvuma opens up on his relationship with suspended Khune -  'He is a legend & I miss him'

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/kaizer-chiefs-take-stern-disciplinary-action-against-goalkeeper-itumeleng-khune/blt8dfc45ed95ac97d4" target="_blank">Khune was suspended from Chiefs and stripped of captaincy</a> after being found guilty of drunkenness while on duty.12 weeks later, the veteran goalkeeper has not yet been integrated back into the senior team with Bvuma now serving as the first choice.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 2023/24 season started with Brandon Petersen as Amakhosi's main man in between the sticks, with Khune as the second choice.However, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/news/johnson-ready-to-sacrifice-kaizer-chiefs-job-in-favour-of-erratic-petersen-just-like-ntseki-every-mistake-is-mine/bltba0a79e9dd04c81e" target="_blank">recurring errors</a> by the former saw Khune - who had extended his stay at the club by a year, being promoted. The 37-year-old was then punished for disciplinary breach and Bvuma got a chance to prove his worth for the team.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"[Khune] is a legend of the club and a legend of South African football; this is one person that we all idolised growing up, especially with a lot of us goalkeepers," Bvuma told the media."I have learned a lot from him and with everything that us going on, he is someone that I am very close to."We do talk quite a lot and he is happy with me playing and performing for the team. Do I miss him? Of course, I do."

WHAT BVUMA SAID

Bvuma and Petersen's future at the club looks good after their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/petersen-bvuma-ngcobo-kaizer-chiefs-tie-down-trio-with-new-contracts-after-a-quiet-psl-january-player-transfer-window/bltf77ddc2d6ff6b618" target="_blank">recent contract extension</a> meaning they can concentrate on improving their game on the pitch.Khune's stay at the club is not guaranteed since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/news/itumeleng-khune-kaizer-chiefs-extend-veteran-goalkeeper-contract-naturena/blt3133e3a33b95e7ed" target="_blank">his contract expires at the end of the ongoing campaign</a>. However, it appears that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/good-news-for-itumeleng-khune-as-kaizer-chiefs-reportedly-look-to-honour-their-long-serving-goalkeeper/bltb68e7cffb0129b21" target="_blank">Khune will be offered either a coaching or marketing role</a> by Amakhosi if he chooses to hang up his gloves at the end of his player contract.
