Kaizer Chiefs to lose Itumeleng Khune and potential replacement?

Over the years, Khune has been a stalwart for Chiefs, being their number-one goalkeeper for well over a decade. In recent years, however, the 36-year-old has been plagued by injuries and lack of form, which have seen him dropped. With the club failing to find a regular goalkeeper to take over, they have often called on him repeatedly. Carling All Stars XI

. The country got to see yet another glimpse of what he is still capable of in front of the sticks. With Chiefs making a statement that Khune will retire, he came out to say he isn’t ready to do so. Therefore, he might have to find another club next season as there seems to be no talks of a renewal as yet. Furthermore, even after his return from suspension, he seems to be out of favour and third choice.

While Khune could be coming to the end of his stint at Chiefs, Mazhamba was thought to be the future. The 16-year-old is thought to be very highly-rated within the junior and senior structures of the club. The belief in his abilities at the club has been evident through him being invited to train with the first team on occasion. He has also fought his way into the DDC structures.

While Chiefs could be ready to move on from Khune, losing a potential replacement like Mazhamba could be tough.
