Sipho Chaine celebrates wedding to actress Kay Bikitsha

Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has married South African actress Kamvelihle “Kay” Bikitsha.

The 28-year-old announced the news on social media on Sunday, sharing photographs from the wedding ceremony with the caption: “Mr and Mrs Chaine… Thank you, Jesus.”

The post prompted messages of congratulations from Orlando Pirates supporters and figures from South Africa’s entertainment industry, offering fans a rare glimpse of Chaine’s life away from football.

Chaine joined Orlando Pirates during the 2022/23 season and has since become an important member of the squad.

He was initially signed to add depth to the club’s goalkeeping options but has developed into the Buccaneers’ first-choice goalkeeper. His performances have helped Pirates in domestic and continental competitions.

The Free State-born goalkeeper has also received individual recognition for his displays, winning the Betway Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season award in successive campaigns in 2024/25 and 2025/26.

His contribution was especially significant during the 2025/26 season, when he kept 21 clean sheets as Orlando Pirates ended a 14-year wait to win the league title.

Chaine also collected his first Betway Premiership Player of the Month award in May 2026.

While his progress on the pitch has made him one of the club’s most prominent players, his marriage to Bikitsha marks an important personal milestone.

Bikitsha is known for her work on South African television and has appeared in productions including Gqeberha: The Empire, The Queen, Umbuso and House of Zwide.

The wedding gives Chaine a new chapter away from football before his attention turns back to the demands of another busy season with Orlando Pirates.

His announcement has also allowed supporters to see more of the personal life of a goalkeeper whose importance to the club has grown steadily since his arrival.
