With Itumeleng Khune having fallen out of favour at Kaizer Chiefs after recent controversy, the player's latest actions may just suggest that he is beginning his journey to redemption.

With Itumeleng Khune being the only representative of Kaizer Chiefs in the national team squad, does it mean he is also the best South African player at Amakhosi?
National team head coach Molefi Ntseki surprised a lot of people last week when he included the off-form Khune in his squad set to play in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this month.
The under-fire goalkeeper has become the subject of criticism recently following a string of poor results by the Naturena-based club, with many questioning why he still makes the national team squad.
Top goalkeeper coach and SAFA instructor Alex Heredia backs Khune and says he understands the reason Ntseki selected the Amakhosi veteran.
