Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has hit back at talk he was fortunate to be included in the Bafana Bafana squad which will do duty in upcoming back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers against Sao Tome and Principe.
The 33-year-old Amakhosi goal minder has been South Africa's number one for the better part of the last decade but has struggled with injuries over the past couple of seasons.
And although Khune began his current season in goal for Amakhosi, a dismal performance in a 3-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the first league game of the campaign saw him dropped in favour of Nigerian international Daniel Akpeyi.
