Former Kaizer Chiefs and legendary shot-stopper Itumeleng Khune left in pain by his former club.
Khune parted ways with Amakhosi at the end of last season after spending more than 20 years at the club.
In his last nine years at the Naturena-based club, he failed to help the side to lift a trophy with the last trophy that the club last won, being the Nedbank Cup back in the season 2014-2015.

Speaking during one of the Nedbank Cup campaigns promoting the tournament, he shared how much much the trophyless run is paining him.
He also touched on how the current players are confident and close to ending the run that has turned the club into a laughing stock.
“It gives them confidence, remember for the last nine years, going into 10 years, Chiefs haven’t won any silverware, and this gives them an opportunity,” Khune stated.
“We have a bad history when it comes to Nedbank Cup, Kaizer Chiefs has been knocked out by the lower division teams, and now they are in the semi-final.
“You are just one step to the final and win it, players need to tell themselves that we are going to leave everything on the field.
“It’s been embarrassing coming from the generation of winning cups to not winning cups in 10 years.
“I think the players have the opportunity to change that because now they managed to win in the last 32, last 16, last eight, and now it’s down to the last four.
“Kaizer Chiefs is the laughing stock now and it’s not nice being known as the Cup Kings for many years and come end of the day 10 years without the silver wear, it’s not painting a good picture about the club.”
Chiefs will next face either Mamelodi Sundowns or Sekhukhune United in the semis of the tournament after the duo’s quarterfinal clash was postponed due to Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium being double booked.
In the other semi-final clash, Orlando Pirates will host Marumo Gallants.
