Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma has the biggest chance of his career to fight for the number one position following the latest reported problems with other keepers at the club recently.
Bvuma made his first start of the season in a 1-0 win over Moroka Swallows on Sunday, where Amakhosi kept a clean sheet for the first time in nine matches.

The 28-year-old will know that Khune has struggled to produce clean sheets in recent times and there have been reports in the media which allege all is not well behind the scenes at Chiefs, with coach Cavin Johnson playing down those rumours in his press conference.
The other keeper Brandon Petersen had reportedly required psychological support after his poor start to the season but he was on the bench against the Birds.
The Glamour Boys interim coach Johnson says Bvuma has to make sure he uses the chance he's got and hopes the fact that he kept a clean sheet does not go to his head.
"Yes, look it's not about Bruce (Bvuma), it's about the team in front of him and yes we came away with no goals conceded but I think the whole team has to be congratulated," Johnson told reporters.
"And yes he gets a chance, he's got to make sure he keeps it, his head doesn't go to his body and he's able to maintain because I can say the same thing about Happy Mashiane, I can say the same thing about 'Pony' (Nkosingiphile Ngcobo), 'Bibo' (Sabelo Radebe).
"They are all young players, I can say the same thing about 'Shabba' (Mduduzi Shabalala), on the bench, in the pitch, it doesn't matter, you're part of the 20 and it's credit to all of them," he added.
The win took Chiefs up to sixth on the table and they will have a 12-day rest before they get back to action when they visit Polokwane City on December 9.
