The Kaizer Chiefs academy product also took the moment to describe the type of legacy he aspires to leave behind.
“The legacy that I want to leave when I retire is for people to remember that Itumeleng Khune was there and that he played a huge role.
“There’s no one who wants to be remembered as a failure. I want to be remembered as a major part in Kaizer Chiefs winning trophies, dominating South African football and I think I’ve played over 350 matches, and I’ve kept over 150 if not 200 clean sheets.
“I want to take every opportunity that comes my way, use it to the best of my abilities, and when I retire, knowing very well that I’ve given it my all,” he added.
Meanwhile, with Amakhosi’s number one Brandon Petersen reported injured on Monday, Khune is expected to make the squad to face Golden Arrows this weekend.
