“Itumeleng Khune’s Triumph: On the Pitch and In Love”
Kaizer Chiefs’ goalkeeper and captain, Itumeleng Khune, showcased his prowess with a stellar performance in the Black Label Cup, leading his team to a 2-1 victory against Stellenbosch on January 6. However, the spotlight briefly shifted from the pitch to his personal life, where his wife, Sphelele, responded to a troll attempting to draw comparisons between her and Khune’s ex-girlfriend, Minnie Dlamini.
Despite a recent club suspension, Khune’s return to the field was met with admiration, including a proud post from his wife on Instagram. Amidst positive comments, a troll insinuated that Khune’s relationship with Sphelele would face the same fate as his previous one with Minnie Dlamini. Sphelele responded assertively, questioning the commenter’s audacity.
Khune, who has transitioned from his days as a celebrity bachelor, has been in a strong and supportive relationship with Sphelele since 2019. The couple frequently shares glimpses of their life on social media, emphasizing their love and commitment.
Having dated well-known personalities like Minnie Dlamini, Sbahle Mpisane, and Ntombi Mzolo, Khune has shifted his focus towards his current family of four, with Sphelele being a constant pillar of support. Acknowledging Khune’s dedication to family life, a follower commended him on being a family man, to which Khune replied with a heartfelt “Amen to that.”
As Khune continues to make headlines both on and off the pitch, the love and support from his wife remain a prominent and uplifting aspect of his personal journey.
