Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana legend Brian Baloyi has made a blunt assessment of Amakhosi's goalkeeping headache ahead of the new season.
Baloyi made 347 appearances for Kaizer Chiefs between 1992 to June 2004, where he rose to legend status and became widely recognised as one of the best goalkeepers South Africa has produced.

Speaking on on a recent episode of iDiski Dine, Baloyi revealed that he has been less than impressed with Bvuma, who came through the club's academy ranks and has just under 80 appearances for Amakhosi.
"You look at Bruce [Bvuma], he has gotten the best training that any kid can ever get [because] he started in the juniors with proper training, but he doesn’t have a big heart, he doesn't have the presence," said Baloyi on a recent episode of iDiski Dine.
"For Pirates and Chiefs, for me, when I look at goalkeeper, with talent and technique and stuff, I would overlook them over a goalkeeper who has raw talent.
"Because to play for Chiefs [you need character], if you look at Bruce, yigwala [he is a coward]."
