Itumeleng ‘Itu’ Khune is in the hot seat after being dragged into his ex Minnie Dlamini’s divorce debacle.

The Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper and captain trended on Twitter after the TV presenter announced that she was splitting from husband Quinton Jones.

Minnie and Itu split in 2014 by calling off their engagement after years together. At the time of their break-up, Khune was rumoured to have paid a hefty sum in lobola for Minnie.

Now tweeps are suggesting that Minnie and Khune rekindle their romance, despite the fact that the latter is married and a father of two.

ITU SHOWS LOVE TO WIFE

Hours after topping the trends list, Itu Khune tried his best to distance himself from the commentary surrounding his wife

On Twitter, he replied to a tweet posted by his wife Siphelele, whom he shares two daughters with.

The tweet was about Siphelele being spoiled on Valentine’s Day by her soccer player husband. “How was your Valentine’s Day? Mine was beautiful as you can see”, she posted alongside a picture of the couple kissing.

Itu responded to the tweet with four emojis; a heart, a rose, a champagne bottle and a set of champagne glasses to toast with.

But despite his best efforts, many tweeps thought Khune’s timing was a bit sus.

“Now you’re posting about Valentine’s day, because the poor lady just released her statement”

“O braggela Minnie jaanong, just because she released a statement, have a heart man”

“Why do you express your Valentine’s experience now? Did you perhaps receive some good news on this app this afternoon?”

TWEEPS DEFEND KHUNE AMID MINNIE DRAMA

Meanwhile, despite many tweeps insinuating that Itu Khune will be happy to hear of Minnie’s heartbreak, others are annoyed and have come out to defend the soccer star.

“I find so childish for people to drag Khune into this Minnie Dlamini’s divorce saga. Khune is an elder, he wouldn’t celebrate that his ex is divorcing. Divorce is an unfortunate event, everyone knows that. Good people just Respect Khune”

“People should respect Khune regarding this Minnie issue. The man is married maan guys”

“Khune trending after minnie situation says to me we disrespecting his wife as a country”
