Dos Santos speaks about Bvuma in the tweet below:

According to KickOff, Dos Santos said Bvuma deserves another chance and should be one of the changes that the new coach, Nasreddine Nabi, makes at the Chiefs.

Dos Santos said:

"Bvuma, we have not seen him in a while, but after what happened in the last two years at Chiefs, Bvuma should be given another opportunity to claim his place. Brandon is not doing it, and the other one is not doing it, so you might as well give Bvuma a chance to come back."

Fans back Bvuma

Local football fans said on social media that Bvuma deserves another chance, and they raised doubts about the goalkeepers at Chiefs' disposal.

Comfort Scara Mashabela disagrees:

"Never Ntwari is the best; we as supporters need to accept that as soon as possible."

"They must just give the young Molofe a chance. I'm sure he will impress."
