Khune’s ability to lead from the back
Khune’s is undoubtedly one of the most gifted glovemen in Mzansi and in the entire African continent, his presence could help the Soweto giants. For many years, the Chiefs’ goalkeeping department has been blessed with fine talent but he remains one of the most influential at the moment.
He has been at top FIFA tournaments such as the World Cup and the Confederations Cup as well as many CAF African Cup of Nations competitions.
With the South Africans looking to stun their hosts and book a place in the finals of the continental tournament, there’s no doubt the technical team will choose him ahead of Daniel Akpeyi and Bruce Bvuma.
His ball contribution, ability to organise his defence as well as reading the game - that is when to commit and not to – Khune’s qualities are second to none.
Mngqithi on Sundowns player contracts
Checking out other football stories, Briefly News recently reported that Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi says he is unsure if four of their players in the form of Nicholus Lukhubeni, Nyiko Mobbie, Phakamani Mhlambi as well as Sammy Seabi will return to the club.
Mngqithi was questioned regarding the players who were loaned to other DStv Premiership clubs to gain regular game time last season.
However, with the players set to see their existing contracts coming to expiration at the end of June, the Masandawana players’ futures remain unclear, according to Goal.
Mngqithi recently addressed the media:
“Come back to us? I don’t know. We are still going to sit down in that space but it will be to enhance what we have because the boys are looking good. Some of the boys who did not play much this past season will seem like new signings.
