Kaizer Chiefs Legend Itumeleng Khune’s Wife Sparks Moon Boot Buzz: “Your Leg Is Also Injured”

• Sphelele Makhunga shared photos of herself in a moon boot, sparking lively reactions on social media
• Fans immediately drew comparisons to Itumeleng Khune’s ex, Sbahle Mpisane, who wears a moon boot due to a past injury
• Sphelele responded confidently to online comments, showing she won’t be drawn into drama while focusing on her family

Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana legend Itumeleng Khune’s wife, Sphelele Makhunga, has stirred social media conversations after sharing photos of herself wearing a moon boot on her right foot on Instagram on Sunday, 7 March 2026.

The posts showed her enjoying time at the park with their two daughters while sporting the medical footwear, attracting attention from followers and fans.

Fans quickly drew comparisons between Sphelele’s moon boot and that of Khune’s former girlfriend, fitness star Sbahle Mpisane. Sbahle has been living with a permanent injury in her right foot following a serious car accident in 2018, which requires her to wear a moon boot indefinitely.
