Khune astonished by Mofokeng: 'That’s not normal!'

The Sea Robbers' versatile attacker has been in the best form of his professional career, scoring and creating goals at will. In the last two club assignments in the South African top-tier, Rele, as he is commonly referred to, has found the back of the net five times to take his PSL goals tally to nine.

Khune backs Majoro striker academy -'These guys need to show current generation how it's done'

The former Amakhosi goalkeeper, Itumeleng Khune, has sounded the alarm, calling on South African football to double down on specialist striker coaching to fix the country’s finishing drought. The iconic shot-stopper has firmly backed Majoro, who has stepped up by launching a focused academy aimed at turning blunt attacking play into a clinical edge.

Want a successful World Cup campaign? Khune tells Bafana stars what to do

While the current focus is on the next friendly against Panama, Bafana's eyes are fixed on the upcoming big assignment. The players will not only be representing the country but will also be carrying the continental aspirations, as they are among the African countries set to play in the global bonanza. That means the 1996 AFCON champions must make their supporters proud by staging an impressive campaign.

The deteriorating standards at Naturena have drawn the attention of an Amakhosi legend, who has delivered a brutal assessment of the players' current state. The former star did not hold back, as he also broadened the criticism to South African football in general, questioning the mindset and professionalism of local players.

National disaster? Chiefs' PSL struggles bad for Mzansi since 'even the economy goes down'

The Soweto giants are seemingly braced to end the 2025/26 campaign without silverware, having ended their decade-long drought barely a year ago with the Nedbank Cup triumph.

Chiefs legend Khune tears into Amakhosi for failing to score enough goals

The Soweto giants have been struggling for consistency, especially in the final third, where they have not been taking their scoring opportunities. Despite bringing on board players who could help them solve their scoring problems, the Glamour Boys have consistently failed to score more than one goal in most matches this season.

Chiefs legend Khune reveals how he and Meyiwa changed Mzansi goalkeeping -'I made it fashionable'

The former AmaKhosi goalkeeper has opened up on the transformative impact he and the late Orlando Pirates goal-minder had on local football, claiming the pair helped make goalkeeping 'fashionable' in the country.

Khune identifies ideal coach for Chiefs - 'Players will be scared of him'

The fear that Amakhosi could finish the season trophyless could become a reality if the current trend continues. After the midweek defeat to Richards Bay, the Glamour Boys dropped to the sixth position, and the fight could shift from the title to a top-eight finish. As the Soweto giants struggle, questions are being asked about who is responsible and what could be the solution.

Chiefs in talks with star over deal

The experienced star's performance is one of the reasons why Amakhosi have been solid at the back. However, his impressive run has been overshadowed by rumours surrounding his future, but now reports emerge that the club is keen to tie him down for a longer deal. Although the Glamour Boys exited two competitions in a span of days, the player has been a standout figure for the club.

Khune picks his man: Chiefs player who 'stands a good chance of being with Bafana at World Cup'

Players from Amakhosi have found it increasingly difficult to break into the national team setup in recent years. Not a single player from the Soweto giants featured in the South Africa squad for the last two AFCON editions, underlining the widening gap between the club and their PSL rivals, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, who dominate Hugo Broos' side. That absence has raised concerns that performance standards at Amakhosi may have dipped compared to previous eras.

Khune lauds Petersen for taking 'his game to whole different level amid the big Bafana debate

The Amakhosi goalkeeping department seems to have stabilised together with the defence, making it difficult for opponents to breach the Soweto giants. That solidity at the back is expected to make the Glamour Boys strong, giving them a chance of winning at least a piece of silverware this 2025/26 season.

Khune hits out at 'disappointing' Youssef

Amakhosi grabbed top spot in Group D with a 2-1 win over Al Masry at Peter Mokaba Stadium, but their legendary former keeper was not happy with the way their coach ignored the need for a two-goal margin of victory to ensure automatic qualification for the knockout rounds of the competition.

Khune urges Broos to consider Chiefs star who is currently 'one of the best in Mzansi'

The Glamour Boys have been doing quite well this season, as players continue proving their doubters wrong. Bafana Bafana are among the teams that will feature in the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Amakhosi players hope to be considered for the global tournament.
