Khune hits back at critics

Disgruntled Chiefs fans attacked Khune on social media after Amakhosi drew with Arrows.


Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune hit back at his critics after he was attacked for “not doing enough” to stop Knox Mutizwa’s equalising goal for Golden Arrows at the FNB Stadium last Saturday.

Amakhosi had taken the lead through Ryan Moon in the last 15 minutes of the second half, only for Mutizwa to break the hearts of the Chiefs fans with a late equaliser which saw the two teams sharing the spoils on the night.

“The way I’m being attacked by people is like I always go on the field to cost the team. Yet I give 100% if not 200% in every match,” Khune tweeted.

“But, at end of the day, they need to realise that we’re humans too and we’ll retaliate if pushed to the limit, we got families too.

“It hurts but I’ll continue to give my all for those who appreciate my work ethic. I’m a hard worker and passionate at what I do.”

Following the draw to Arrows, Steve Komphela’s side drop out of the race for the league title.
