Itumeleng Khune's future at Chiefs hangs in the balance as he nears ...
This week’s statement did not explain whether Khune, who has played in five matches in all competitions this season, will be retiring at the end of his contract in June to take up an office job at Naturena or not.
The relationship between Khune and the club has been tumultuous recently and he was suspended in December to afford him an opportunity to complete a corrective programme designed for him to meet set expectations for a professional athlete.
The 36-year-old rejoined the team in March and but he was on the bench in their last match against AmaZulu largely because Brandon Petersen was suspended for a red card he recently received against TS Galaxy.
“Khune, a stalwart of South African football, has been a pillar of strength for Kaizer Chiefs for over two decades, having arrived as a youngster from Ventersdorp, in the North West, back in 1999,” said Chiefs on their website www.kaizerchiefs.com.
