One of the biggest challenges and also a possible setback these professionals get to experience is dealing with a death of a loved one and still be expected to over deliver.

The year 2021 was without a doubt one of the most difficult year for Kazier Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune ever since his rise from the youth structures of the Naturena based outfit to the senior team. During that year Itumeleng Khune lost his number one spot at Kaizer Chiefs and also had to play second fiddle to fellow teammates Daniel Akpeyi and Bruce Bvuma.

 

 

 

 

As if that was not enough the former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs number one goalkeeper also lost his one and only sister Meikie Mapula Khune who tragedy passed away after a portion of his family home in Tshing outside of Ventersdorp caught fire and she was burnt beyond recognition. During the time of her death Meikie Khune was a màrketer by profession and also served as the CEO of the Khune Foundation.

The late Meikie Khune was also the owner of Appearance by Mkay and also the owner of Appearance Luxury Furniture. On Monday the 14th of February the Ventersdorp born goalkeeper has dedicated the day to remember his late sister as she is celebrating her heavenly birthday.

On Monday Itumeleng Khune has since taken to Instagram to share a picture of her late sister and in turn would caption it with, “happy birthday little sis may your soul continue to rest in eternal peace. Love you forever”.

On the 14th of February 2022 Meikie Khune would been celebrating her 28th birthday but unfortunately death took her soon. During the time of her death she was survived her brothers Sipho, Itumeleng, Lucky, Jacob and her parents Elias and Flora Khune.
