A Look At Why Khune Won Big Off The Pitch This Season

A Look At Why Khune Won Big Off The Pitch This Season

Itumeleng Khune and his wife Sphelele Makhunga.

Kaizer Chiefs club captain Itumeleng Khune's 2022/23 season was not his most memorable with the club, but he managed to create and share plenty of meaningful memories with his partner. Check it out! 

What's the story?

Veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune might not have enjoyed the best season in Chiefs colours this season, but he didn't let that impact his personal life. 

From his graduation to a luxurious Cape Town vacation and a family Christmas getaway, Khune has shared plenty of special moments with his wife Sphelele off the pitch.

Let's take a closer look...

Itu's special off-field moments with Sphelele

Kaizer Chiefs has already said its goodbyes to Khune's long-time teammate Eric Mathoho, with another six potentially heading out the door. 

Although Khune's future isn't 100% secured in Naturena with his contract expiring soon, it'll be a surprise if the 2022/23 season was his last for the Glamour Boys.

As mentioned, it hasn't been the most amazing season on the pitch for Itu, who made only 11 league appearances this season, but off it, the Bafana international has shared some amazing memories with his significant other.

The duo enjoyed a relaxing Cape Town vacation during the FIFA World Cup-enforced break, where they adventured out onto the Atlantic dunes with Lehlohonolo Majoro and his partner Tumi Stone, shopped and took a boat ride to bask in the stunning Atlantic Ocean views.

Sphelele was also right by her man's side when he graduating through the PSL's Player Transition Programme, a course done through the Gordan Institute of Business Science (GIBS), to equip players for life after football. 

The 35-year-old and his Sphelele are all about their adorable little girls and for Christmas, they headed to a secluded Game Lodge to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

They became one with nature and enjoyed some unbelievable fine dining for a special weekend:
