Former Bafana Bafana skipper stripped of Kaizer Chiefs captaincy

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Gavin Hunt has revealed that Itumeleng Khune has been stripped of the club's captaincy.

Eyebrows were raised when experienced goalkeeper made his return to the Amakhosi starting line-up against AmaZulu FC while not wearing the captain's armband on Wednesday.

Ramahlwe Mphahlele, who was also returning to the starting line-up after recovering from an injury, led Chiefs as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to AmaZulu in a PSL match at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
