Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma says he is grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Bafana Bafana squad again for the friendlies against Guinea and France.
Bvuma is one of the three goalkeepers called up by Hugo Broos, alongside Ronwen Williams and Veli Mothwa after his Chiefs teammate, Brandon Petersen had to withdraw due to injury.
While Bvuma has not been a regular at Chiefs of late, he says he has working hard because of the chance he has been given.
“It makes me feel happy,” Bvuma told the club’s website.
“At the same time I need to work hard because of the opportunity given to me. For me being called up to the national team is an achievement I can never stop being excited about.
“Every player wants to play for the national team, especially in my case as I have not been playing.
“Here I am in the national team. It is all by the grace of God. I get the favour from God and not anyone else.
“I have to keep on working hard so I perform when I am given the chance.”
With Petersen doubtful, he could be given an opportunity this weekend against Golden Arrows.
“At the moment we are taking it one game at a time, as we know we have quite a few games to play,” he added.
“It will be the little things we need to apply ourselves correctly to against Arrows and take the points. The coach has explained to us how they play and we have prepared well for the game.
“We just want to win every game. We are not looking at who’s up and whose down or whose behind us. That’s all we are doing right now, taking each game as it comes.”
