Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has congratulated goalkeeper Sipho Chaine after he announced his marriage to South African actress Kay Bikitsha.
Chaine, who is currently in camp with Bafana Bafana, shared the news of his wedding this week. Ouaddou responded with a personal message on Instagram, wishing the couple happiness and success in their life together.
“Dear Brother,
“I was overjoyed to hear about your marriage! I’m so happy for you and your wife.
“May God accompany you with happiness, love and peace, and bless each of your plans, especially those of your future family. Marriage is an important step in life, and I’m certain you are taking it with great love and wisdom.
“A thousand congratulations to you both! May your home be filled with light, joy and companionship.
“With all my friendship and best wishes.”
Ouaddou and Chaine have developed a strong working relationship since they began working together last season at Orlando Pirates.
The goalkeeper has become one of the most recognisable figures in South African football through his performances between the posts. He has won back-to-back PSL Goalkeeper of the Season awards over the past two seasons.
Chaine also played a key role in helping Orlando Pirates secure the league title last season.
His wife, Bikitsha, is a familiar face on South African television. The actress has appeared in productions including Gqeberha: The Empire, The Queen, Umbuso and House of Zwide.
Chaine’s immediate focus is with Bafana Bafana, who are preparing for their Afcon qualifiers against Kenya.
After reaching one of the biggest milestones of his life, the goalkeeper would be especially pleased to mark it with playing time for his country, clean sheets and a positive result.
