The Bafana Bafana legend bagged another achievement recently after being inducted into the Hall of Fame in South African football.
He was not the only one who received the accolade, as he was joined by other Mzansi football icons who were recognised for their heroic contribution to the national team, which included winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 1996 and also helping Bafana Bafana qualify for the FIFA World Cup on two occasions.
Khumalo, who recently complained about a Kaizer Chiefs star not being included in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana squad that faced Zambia and also Thembinkosi Lorch's absence, is rated amongst the top players that represented the South African men's national team, and is highly respected in the football scene, even outside the country.

Khumalo names top 5 SA players
Khumalo was asked if he sees himself as South Africa's greatest player of all time. The Kaizer Chiefs legend claimed he can't recall much of what he contributed on the pitch during his playing days. He claimed that he is not one of those footballers who boast about their accomplishments while they were still active players.
The South African football legend, while on Robert Marawa's MSW show, claimed that he doesn’t clearly remember everything he accomplished on the field. He also mentioned again that he has never been the type of player who boasts about himself.
However, he made it a point to impress fans, ensuring that whenever he faced them, they would be amazed and entertained by his dribbling skills.
When asked to name his five greatest South African footballers of all time, Khumalo selected Lucas Radebe, Shoes Moshoeu, Phil Masinga, Jomo Sono, and the late Ace Ntsoelengoe.
When questioned why he did not include himself on the list, he said he would leave that part to the supporters, admitting that someone else would have to decide where the name Doctor Khumalo fits among the South African greats.
