Brilliant’s perspective on Itumeleng Khune’s future
In related news, former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brilliant Khuzwayo weighed in on the uncertain future of his ex-teammate Itumeleng Khune. With Khune’s contract recently expiring and talks of a non-playing role. Khuzwayo advised Khune to prioritise his own feelings and physical condition when deciding whether to retire or pursue other opportunities.
Khuzwayo emphasised: “No one can decide for you when to retire. If he still feels like he needs to continue. He must continue. But for me, the smartest move would be to weigh options carefully because outside of Kaizer Chiefs, it’s a different environment.”
Khuzwayo’s advice to Khune
Reflecting on the unique professional setup at Kaizer Chiefs, Khuzwayo added: “It’s like a child born with a silver spoon. Outside, things might not be the same. For him, it’s about feeling his body and making the right decision.”
