Khune Slams Kaizer Chiefs Goalkeepers, Advices Former Club on What to Do: 'Not Amakhosi Standard'

• Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has raised concerns about his former club’s current goalkeeping situation
• The former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper criticised the lack of a consistent, reliable No. 1 goalkeeper at the club this season
• The former South African international believes the Glamour Boys need a long-term solution — someone who can play 30+ matches a season and inspire the team

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has questioned the choices of goalkeepers at his former club while also offering a long-term solution.

The former South African international is not happy that his former team lacks a consistent goalkeeper who can perform reliably throughout the season.

Amakhosi invested on a new goalkeeper last summer after they parted ways with Khune. They brought in Fiarce Ntwari from TS Galaxy but the Rwandan international failed to impress in the first few games at the beginning of the season.

Bruce Bvuma returned to the goal post when Ntwari was injured while international duty last year, and the South African goalkeeper has held on to the starting shirt since then.

Khune fumes at Kaizer Chiefs' goalkeeping department

In an interview with iDiskiTimes, Khune — who recently clarified talks about his retirement — slammed his former club for failing to have a goalkeeper who can provide consistency all season long.

"Once I step away, Chiefs need to find a goalkeeper who can consistently deliver — someone who can give them 30 games a season, compete in all competitions, and help win trophies," Khune told iDiskiTimes.

"They need a true season-long shot-stopper. Right now, they’ve already gone through all their goalkeepers in just 24 matches, and there’s no stability. Players are coming in, getting a handful of games, and conceding multiple goals — that’s not the Kaizer Chiefs standard I know.

"The club needs someone dependable — physically strong, mentally sharp, emotionally stable — a leader at the back who can lift the team and set the tone. Sadly, I haven’t seen that level of presence this season."

The Bafana Bafana legendary goalkeeper also reflected on his own journey during his time with the Glamour Boys, before the relationship ended on sour note last summer.

"I’ve had my turn, and I’ve cherished every moment. Every time I pulled on that jersey, I gave it everything. I knew what it meant to represent Chiefs and win the fans' hearts — that’s why I was the number one for so many years, playing 30 games a season and representing Bafana Bafana on the big stage," he added.

I never complained about fatigue or workload — because I knew that every opportunity was a blessing. You never want to retire and look back with regret."
