Former teammate of Itumeleng Khune at Kaizer Chiefs, Mokete Tsotetsi, has shared why football fans will always stand by the goalkeeper.
Despite his well-documented bad behavior, the Amakhosi goalkeeper made it to the PSL All-Star after he was voted in by the football fans.
The Carling Knockout made up of players from Premier Soccer League and DDC clubs, will take on the Carling Black Label Knockout winners Stellenbosch at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.
Though his Chiefs side produced a dismal performance and was knocked out in the first round of the cup competition by AmaZulu FC, Khune still made the invitation side.
