Famous South Africa goalie, Itumeleng Khune has wowed many with his illustrious career spanning decades.
The Kaizer Chiefs legend has managed to keep his private life under wraps, leaving many to guess about his favourite things off the pitch. However, thanks to his social media feeds, Mzansi has had a sneak peek into his life off the pitch.
Thanks to his big social media following, Itumeleng Khune often trends whenever he posts. The Kaizer Chief legend is trending after his dancing video made rounds on the internet.
Since it was posted on the internet, the now-viral video has received thousands of comments and reactions. Fans and fellow footballers were quick to flood his comments section with their two cents.
Undoubtedly, many were more than convinced that Itumeleng Khune was a good dancer. Itumeleng Khune was dancing on his way to his gym room, and his wife recorded the priceless moments while hyping him. He captioned the viral video, “Not my Wifey Hyping me up shame Batlogele.”

However, other fans gave his effortless dance moves a nod as they implicated his age in the mix. He is fit as a fibble and knows how to look sharp and fit. Itumeleng Khune was born on 20 June 1987 in Tshing, Venterdrop, in the North West, South Africa.
However, the trending video comes amid his contract woes with Kaizer Chiefs. Khune’s contract with the Soweto giants ended last month, but the club recently revealed they were talking with their legend.
Kaizer Chiefs Marketing Director Jessica Motaung recently confirmed that their club is in talks with Khune. “In terms of Khune, the club will make an announcement; we certainly were in discussions with Khune; he’s part of the family. 25 years, I mean he’s like a little brother to me you know,” Motaung told iDiskiTimes.
“We’re discussing the opportunities with him and we look forward to announcing those in the future,” she added.
However, despite the news, Itumeleng Khune has yet to share an update about his future. According to several reports, the 37-year-old goalkeeper started his footballing career as a striker when he arrived for trials at Chiefs in 1999.
However, he was reduced to a ball boy because of a disclosed medical condition; however, his diving techniques and flair off the pitch attracted youth coach Terror Sephoa who converted him to a goalkeeper.
He was promoted to the first team in 2004. Since then, he has won big. Despite being sidelined for almost three years, he had his shot to fame during the 2007 – 2008 season.
In 2011 he was assigned as club captain replacing Jimmy Tau, and during the 2012 – 2013 season, he led the Soweto giants to a couple double. The season is arguably one of the best in his career. He was voted into Goal.com’s Goal50 top list alongside Robbie Keane, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and James Rodriguez.
