Bvuma, who praised Nabi at the start of the season, said the club is moving in the right direction under coach Nabi and backed the side to finish the season on a good note.

Bvuma speaks about Nabi in the tweet below:

According to Goal.com, Bvuma said Chiefs will bounce back from their recent 1-0 loss to Cape Town City when they face Stellenbosch FC on Wednesday, 8 January 2025.

Bvuma said:

"You can see that we have improved a lot than the previous seasons. We are playing well, and as a team, we are doing well. It's just that the results are not coming our way. We are getting inconsistent in terms of getting the results. But that doesn't mean there is no progress; there is a lot of progress. We have to get the results going forward."

Chiefs will face Stellenbosch on Wednesday, 8 January 2025, according to the tweet below:

Bvuma backs Chiefs to improve

While Chiefs have won four matches this season, the club has struggled to keep clean sheets, leading to reports that the club is interested in Chippa United shot-stopper Stanley Nwabali.

Chiefs want to add quality players in the January transfer window and have been linked with Nwabali, Oswin Appollis, Fiston Mayele, Feisal Salum and Fawaaz Basadien.

Fans doubt Bvuma's optimism

Amakhosi fans reacted negatively on social media to Bvuma's words, saying the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper is just trying to secure his place in the starting line-up.

Da Deepervoice is not impressed:

"Failing to win small games makes no progress at all. Guys, I'm shifting my membership."

Ketlile Pele Thakgaetala says Bvuma is biased:

"He is saying this because he is now given an opportunity to play. I doubted them when Supersport United beat them 1-0 in a league game, and they failed to find a suitable player to replace Castillo."

Akhona Sikebe says Chiefs had the right formula:

"That first line-up in early games was the best."

Vusi Johannes is doubtful:

"If you guys are making progress, the club wouldn't need reinforcement."
