Khune’s daughter humbles him with words of praise

The Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has been called “Mzansi number 1” when it comes to goalkeepers since the peak of his career in 2010. But apart from football, he’s one of the loudest celebrities on social media.

He recently shared on Instagram, the words of praise from his eldest daughter who seems to have grown enough to speak sense. Khune appears to be holding flowers, although we are not sure if he was presented by his daughter.

“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me,” Khune wrote on Instagram. He then put a hashtag in his daughter’s name, meaning the words are from her.

Khune is seemingly happy with his wife Siphelele whom he married in 2018. They have two daughters together who seem to be growing so fast. Before he got married, Khune was once involved in an open relationship with Minenhle “Minnie” Dlamini who’s a presenter at SuperSport.

Following a break-up with Minnie, he then got into a relationship with Sbahle Mpisane, the step-daughter of the famous Royal AM owner Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize.

Things may be going well for “Itu” in his family life but in football, he seems to have a stalled career as he hasn’t featured for Amakhosi for quite some time now. He never played one match in the DStv Premiership and Nedbank Cup this season but only got to wear the gold and black jersey once in the MTN 8, meaning he had one appearance in all competitions. However, all his posts on social media demonstrate the endurance he has.

Khune has played 327 games for Chiefs since he was promoted by coach Muhsin Ertugral at the age of 19. Could the support he gets from his daughters and wife help him fight back?
