Brandon Petersen and Bruce Bvuma, Kaizer Chiefs

Is this why Bvuma can't beat Petersen to the Chiefs' No. 1 spot?

The Glamour Boys skipper missed a couple of matches owing to an injury but has now made a return to the Soweto giants, who are determined to get an automatic CAF Confederation Cup spot. The 31-year-old is also hoping to convince Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos to consider him for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

How could that pass? Bvuma called out after conceding against Orbit College

In the absence of Brandon Petersen, the second-choice custodian has been trusted to undertake the goalkeeping duties. However, he has been under scrutiny, as some believe his performances are below par at times. Against the Mswenko Boys, he conceded a goal that increased the criticism directed at him.

Chiefs coach drops injury update on Petersen as Amakhosi face goalkeeping crisis

The Soweto giants could be regretting their January decisions after opting against signing a new goalkeeper while also sending Bontle Molefe out on loan. With their current shot-stoppers struggling with availability, the club is dangerously thin on options between the sticks at a crucial stage of the season.

Chiefs have just one keeper available!

The Glamour Boys have seemingly rediscovered their form, having registered back-to-back victories in the Premier Soccer League after losing three in a row prior. The Soweto giants are desperate to end the ongoing campaign in the top three positions to qualify for international assignments in the forthcoming edition.

Bvuma defended despite heavy Soweto derby loss: 'He wasn't that bad'

The 30-year-old made his first appearance last weekend as the Glamour Boys hosted their old rivals, the Buccaneers, at the FNB Stadium. It happened to be a bad outing as Amakhosi suffered their worst defeat against Bucs in 25 years, which saw the Premier Soccer League hopes this season suffer a massive blow.

Chiefs reveal reason why captain Petersen was absent from the Soweto Derby

The Amakhosi first-choice custodian was not available, and his replacement endured a leaky outing on his return, which happened on the big stage as he started in goal for the first time since May 2025. On an afternoon meant to remind everyone of his pedigree, he instead appeared vulnerable between the sticks, and his performance could raise fresh doubts about him.

Chiefs in talks with star over deal

The experienced star's performance is one of the reasons why Amakhosi have been solid at the back. However, his impressive run has been overshadowed by rumours surrounding his future, but now reports emerge that the club is keen to tie him down for a longer deal. Although the Glamour Boys exited two competitions in a span of days, the player has been a standout figure for the club.

Amakhosi will welcome the Zambian outfit to the Moses Mabhida Stadium in a much-anticipated encounter that promises to be one for the books. The hosts will be eager to complete a double over Team Ya Ziko and maintain their momentum, while the visitors arrive wounded after falling short at home and are desperate to secure their first win in Group D.

OFFICIAL: Chiefs goalkeeper leaves

The Glamour Boys have confirmed the exit of the goalkeeper at a time their fans are waiting to see if a new player will be signed for the first team. Unlike Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, Amakhosi have not yet strengthened the first team, which sends a signal that they are satisfied with the current playing unit. Meanwhile, there is stiff competition in the goalkeeping department at Chiefs currently, with Brandon Petersen the number one choice given his performance.

PSL debuts loom for Chiefs youngsters - 'I am looking forward to working with them'

With the emerging keepers at Naturena, the Amakhosi senior team is expected not to struggle for top stars in that department. However, the challenge for the Soweto giants is to produce dependable goalkeepers who can match or go above Itumeleng Khune in terms of performance and longevity. Replacing the former Bafana Bafana custodian has been a mission that Chiefs have not successfully accomplished since Khune left in 2024.

Retiring at 30! 😲Bafana goalkeeper once seen as Chiefs' replacement for Khune retires

Once tipped as one of the best goalkeepers in the country, the former Maritzburg United star has decided to quit the football scene. At 30, especially for a goalkeeper, that is seen as a relatively young age, but he has decided to call it quits. His retirement has come at a time when the debate on who should replace the current Bafana Bafana goalkeepers has been partly dominating headlines.

Chiefs challenged to make transfer decision on Petersen as contracts nears expiration

Amakhosi's goalkeeping department has arguably been the most improved area this season, delivering greater consistency and confidence at the back. Strong performances between the posts by their captain have played a key role in stabilising the team in a campaign where they are left with the PSL title, Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup to fight for. However, with two of the club’s senior goalkeepers set to see their contracts expire in June, the Soweto giants are facing important decisions that could shape their plans for next season.

Four Chiefs players ruled out, but Bafana forward & ex-Sundowns star cleared to face Zamalek

Amakhosi are trying to navigate the demanding terrain of continental football while also grappling with a challenging fitness situation in their squad. It has become a real test of their squad depth and the character of players as they push through some tough assignments in that state. Their domestic rivals Mamelodi Sundowns have grown accustomed to enduring such demands every season, setting the standard Amakhosi now hope to match.

Chiefs' Chislett suffers another injury setback as the Southampton academy product wins off the field

The 27-year-old is still waiting to make his Amakhosi debut after joining in the off‑season. Signed from English side Port Vale and son of former Manning Rangers player Donovan Chislett, the midfielder’s absence has sparked growing questions among fans, who wonder why the Soweto giants have yet to unleash their new recruit.

Chiefs goalkeeper undergoes shoulder surgery, expected to be out for two months

The Amakhosi goalkeeping department and their backline appear to have improved this season. They have kept an impressive 10 clean sheets in 16 matches across all competitions to establish themselves as a solid defensive structure after seasons of being criticized for being leaky. This defensive solidity could be key for the Soweto giants this season and give them a competitive edge as they bid for trophies. However, one of their goalkeepers has now been injured.

Chiefs 'asked a lot of money' to sabotage Ntwari's exit!

The 26-year-old joined the Glamour Boys from TS Galaxy, hoping to take the number one spot for several seasons. However, things haven't worked in his favour at the Soweto giants as Brandon Petersen is currently doing well in between the posts, leaving the Amavubi custodian with no option but to play second fiddle to him.
