Itumeleng Khune Shows Off the Awards in His House and Shuts Down Doubters

• Itumeleng Khune took to social media to show off all the awards he's received in his decorated football career
• Fans have been very unkind to Khune lately but he just had to remind them that he's one of the best goalies in Mzansi
• Mzansi social media users reacted to Khune's post and quite a few gave the Kaizer Chiefs skipper some encouragement during trying times

Kaizer Chiefs player Itumeleng Khune gave his supporters a sneak peek into his "decorated" living area on Sunday afternoon. Khune has received a lot of criticism in recent years but his trophy case shows that a lot of it is undeserved.

Due to technical issues, the Kaizer Chiefs shot-stopper was recently dropped from Stuart Baxter's side even though he was thought to be a regular starter. This happened only a few days after Baxter stated that Khune would be his first pick this season.

Stuart Baxter explains why Khune has suddenly been dropped

Briefly News previously reported that all eyes were on the "title-chasing" Kaizer Chiefs in their clash against TS Galaxy but things didn't turn out the way they would've hoped. The match ended in a goalless draw and many noticed that Itumeleng Khune was not in the squad for the match.

The veteran goalkeeper was not in the starting line-up and wasn't even named as a substitute. Stuart Baxter has been praising Khune in the media over the last few weeks so many thought that he would be his number one man.

Speaking to the media after the draw, Baxter explained that his decision to drop Khune from the squad was purely tactical. The coach further stated that the decision has nothing to do with Khune's form.
