According to IDiski Times, Jessica Motaung told Radio 2000 that Khune has been an important member of the Kaizer Chiefs family.
As part of my research in the UK, I studied the ambassadorial role other players play for their clubs after they've retired or moved.
“We are in discussions, and I am looking forward to our meetings to finalize and go over certain proposals with each other.
But we're very excited to sit down with him and figure out how to take him to the next level within the Kaizer Chiefs family. Talks are underway, and we're making sure we keep him."
