Former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns midfield star Teko Modise has issued his assessment on Kaizer Chiefs' current number one goalkeeper, Bruce Bvuma.
Chiefs racked up their fifth win of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Stellenbosch FC at FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Wandile Duba's brace was enough to bring all three points home to Naturena after Khomotjo Lekoloane had opened the scoring for Stellies in the 20th minute.
The Winelands-based outfit, though, dominated proceedings in the last quarter of the fixture and would have likely got a goal were it not for several cat-like saves from Bvuma between the goalposts.
Reviewing the match on SuperSport TV's ExtraTime, 'The General' hailed the Amakhosi shot-stopper for his contribution.
"It was a fantastic save and also you can see he (Bvuma) moves forward a little bit just to maybe force the angle to be a little bit more awkward for (Jayden) Adams [who had taken a shot from long range]," Modise pointed out.
"Guys, at big teams you need a good goalkeeper to be able to make these types of saves.
"Of course, [Sanele Barns' shot] hit the woodwork and that's what you expected from Stellies - they were not going to lie back and just play dead.
"Again, he makes a crucial, crucial save. Whenever he was called upon, that's what he is supposed to do," continued the ex-Bafana Bafana international.

Bvuma has emerged as a favourite for the number-one spot at the club after starting the season further down the pecking order, behind Fiacre Ntwari and Brandon Petersen.
He will be hoping for more of the same when Amakhosi meet Golden Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.
Kick-off is at 15:30.
