Kaizer Chiefs have officially revealed the striking new-look Toyota Cup ahead of their high-profile pre-season friendly against Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko. The much-anticipated clash takes place this Saturday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, setting the tone for what fans hope will be a rejuvenated 2025/2026 campaign.
Fresh from an intense pre-season tour in the Netherlands. The Glamour Boys aim to bounce back from last year’s nightmare 4-0 defeat to Tanzanian powerhouse Young Africans SC.
Chiefs kick off key contract talks
While preparing to impress on the pitch, Chiefs have also moved swiftly behind the scenes to secure their long-term future. The Naturena-based side has already begun contract talks with several core players whose current deals expire in June 2026.
One of the top priorities is first-choice goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma. A source close to the club confirmed.
“Kaizer Chiefs have set the wheels in motion to retain Bvuma as part of a broader mission to lock down their core players at Naturena.”
Bvuma offered two-year extension
The 30-year-old shot-stopper has received a proposed two-year contract extension, which would keep him at the club until June 2028. Chiefs believe Bvuma still has plenty to offer as they aim to re-establish themselves as title contenders.
Since breaking into the senior team in 2016, Bvuma has developed into a reliable figure within the Amakhosi setup. Club insiders now view him as a key member of the leadership group.
“He’s become an important part of our plans moving forward,” a source revealed.
Chiefs prioritise stability and experience
With only 12 months remaining on his current contract. Chiefs know the timing of this extension is critical. The club wants to ensure stability and continuity, especially as they gear up for a season where silverware remains a non-negotiable objective.
