Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has celebrated a major personal milestone after tying the knot with South African actress Kamvelihle “Kay” Bikitsha.
The Buccaneers shot-stopper shared the news on social media on Sunday, posting photographs from the wedding ceremony alongside the caption: “Mr and Mrs Chaine… Thank you, Jesus.”
The announcement attracted congratulatory messages from supporters and personalities across the entertainment industry, as the Pirates goalkeeper offered fans a glimpse into his life away from football.
Chaine has established himself as one of the key figures in the Pirates squad since joining the Soweto giants during the 2022/23 season.
Initially brought in to strengthen the club’s goalkeeping department, the Free State-born shot-stopper has grown into the Buccaneers’ first-choice goalkeeper, playing an important role in their domestic and continental campaigns.
His rise has also been recognised individually, with Chaine winning the Betway Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season award in consecutive campaigns, 2024/25 and 2025/26.
His performances were particularly impressive during the latter campaign, when he recorded 21 clean sheets to help Pirates end their 14-year wait for the league title. He also claimed his first Betway Premiership Player of the Month award in May 2026.
Away from the demands of professional football, however, Chaine now has another reason to celebrate after beginning a new chapter with Bikitsha.
The actress is a familiar face on South African television, having appeared in productions including Gqeberha: The Empire, The Queen, Umbuso and House of Zwide.
For the Pirates goalkeeper, the wedding marks a significant moment away from the football pitch, as he prepares to turn back his attention to the demands of another busy season with the Buccaneers.
The couple’s wedding announcement has given Pirates supporters another glimpse into the personal life of a goalkeeper who has become an increasingly important figure at the club – IOL.
