Picture: Twitter/Itumeleng Khune
The Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper was trolled by his followers on Twitter posting a picture of himself at a store holding a bouquet of flowers that he had just bought for “someone” special.
While some of his followers were impressed with his gesture, others, however, said it was too small and needed to be made bigger with banknotes.
Toffi Brown wrote: “Boquet embi kanje. Where are the R100 and R200 notes lana,” while Emelda Ramokgopa wrote: “You forgot to put R200 and R100 notes in the bouquet that’s why it’s looking small.”
Responding to one of his followers who said the bouquet was too small, suggesting that he must buy 100 roses, Khune said he could not “afford” those.
Khune was also commended by his fans for laughing off the trolls instead of clapping back and blocking.
“I like how you always laugh at these things that other people would normally be offended over. I’ve made fun of you before also but I really am learning from you. Thanks for being that way,” said Twitter user Jabulile.
In response, Khune said what did not kill him made him stronger.
