BACK IN GOAL?
Itumeleng Khune has sent social media into a frenzy after sharing a series of cryptic training photos from Kaizer Chiefs’ Naturena Village.
The legendary goalkeeper posted images of himself in full Kaizer Chiefs training gear and back on the pitch.
“Good to be back on the pitch doing what I do best,” Khune wrote on Instagram.
The post immediately sparked excitement and speculation among Amakhosi supporters.
Khune’s contract as a player officially came to an end after the 2023/24 season, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable 25-year journey at Naturena.
At the time, Kaizer Chiefs had indicated that he would transition into a marketing and ambassadorial role.
However, seeing the man affectionately known as “Spider-Kid” back in his gloves has raised fresh questions about what exactly his return means.
Some supporters believe Khune may have been re-registered to help bring stability to a team that has struggled defensively.
Others suspect he could be joining the technical team in a specialist goalkeeper coaching role.
The 38-year-old appeared lean, sharp and match-ready in the photos, adding even more fuel to the comeback rumours.
So far, neither Kaizer Chiefs nor Khune have clarified the exact nature of his return.
Former teammate Siphiwe Tshabalala also added to the excitement with a comment that many fans interpreted as support for a playing comeback.
“It is a yes from me,” said Shabba.
Fans remain divided, with some calling for Khune to be given one final farewell season, while others feel the club should focus on developing younger talent.
One thing is clear: Itu Khune still knows how to command attention in South African football.
Whether this is the start of a shock playing return or simply a legend staying fit, Naturena has not said a word.
But one thing is certain, the “Khune 32” hype is back.

Édouard Mendy on the AFCON decision:
“I am not surprised coming from an institution like the CAF, which unfortunately does not move forward as fast as its football does. The people involved in this sport in Africa give their best every day, all around the world, to put African football at the highest level of world football.
Unfortunately, there is a small group of people who decide the fate of our sport on this continent. People who are simply not up to the task for several reasons. This is not only since this Africa Cup (2025). Let’s say this AFCON was the final straw.
It is clear that in the coming weeks or months, this institution will have to question itself and carry out a clear overhaul. Today, it is a flawed institution that governs us and does not put us in the best conditions in the eyes of the world.”

I think our problem as fans is thinking that our league is beyond match fixing, you can clearly see that this match was doctored, someone had to boost their goal difference as they can clearly see they're not getting more points than Sundowns

Why would someone think of a back pass from this position when forward play was the most obvious? Even kicking the ball for a throw in 🚮💀

🔴 Ahmed Hossam Mido, former Egypt international, reacts strongly to the AFCON verdict:
🎙️ “Stripping Senegal of the trophy and awarding it to Morocco is the biggest scandal in football history. This will divide Africa and we look like a corrupt continent. Africa deserves better than this.”
🎙️ “There must be a revolution in African football. These people must leave today, not tomorrow.”
🎙️ “I have nothing against Morocco. I love the country and its people. But the reality is, the game was decided on the pitch. Senegal were the best and deserved the title.”
🎙️ “I wanted to congratulate my Moroccan friends… but I cannot congratulate something that was won in offices, not on the field.”
