• Life seems to be going swimmingly for Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune at the moment
• He is experiencing something of a career revival following his reinstatement into the Amakhosi starting lineup
• The 35-year-old Khune sent a not-too-subtle dig at those who had read the last rites on his career-long stay at the club

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is back on the up.

The 35-year-old Bafana Bafana goalkeeper has found himself back in the starting lineup at Naturena after a season out in the wilderness. He was the hero in the team's penalty shoot-out victory over Stellenbosch FC in the MTN 8 quarterfinal two weekends ago.

With an extra spring in his step, The Citizen reported that Khune posted eMTee's song 'We Up' clearly but subtly aimed towards those who believed the end of the road had been reached in his time at the club.

“Uyakhumbula mngani wami (do you remember my friend). Be’sthathela phansi (when they looked down upon us).

Khune has been the subject of much debate, with some former players and respected figures saying that he deserved another go at the club, while others suggested he leave it or hang up his gloves.
