Goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma is adamant that winning the Nedbank Cup final will change the trajectory of Kaizer Chiefs, after 10 years of no trophy entering the gates of Naturena.
For the first time since 2021, Chiefs are one match away from clinching silveware - an honour that has eluded them since lifting the league title in 2015 under Stuart Baxter.

The last time they were in a domestic cup final, they were humbled by then second-tier TS Galaxy six years ago via a late Zakhele Lepasa penalty in the Nedbank Cup.
Amakhosi dug deep to beat Mamelodi Sundowns in the same competition to set up a sumptous finale against traditional rivals Orlando Pirates on 10 May at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The highly anticipated fixtures comes amidst the chaos that has come to define the side's season, where they find themselves eighth on the log after 24 matches, with a top-four finish looking unlikely.
Speaking at the club's base, though, Bvuma believes explained how beneficial winning the tournament will be for them as a club.
"If you look back, it’s been four years since we went to our last final, the Champions League (Chiefs lost to Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly), and domestically our last final was back in 2019, so we are in a final now," Bvuma explained.
"As much as we’re not happy with our log position, but there are a lot of positives that we can take out of this season.

"We are in the final of the Nedbank Cup. We said at the start of the season that we wanted to end the trophy drought, and now we stand a big chance of changing everything."
That encounter is preceded by a key Betway Premiership clash against Marumo Gallants this weekend, before a league Soweto Derby on 3 May.
