Fans react to Itumeleng Khune’s wife’s moon boot

Posted on March 10, 2026

Instagram users took a swipe at Itumeleng Khune’s wife, Sphelele Makhunga, after she posted photos of herself sporting a moon boot on her right foot.

THE CASE OF THE MOON BOOT

The buzz around the moon boot comes from the fact that Sphelele is married to the legendary Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, who used to date fitness fanatic Sbahle Mpisane.

Sbahle, who’s still grappling with her condition, is now permanently injured on her right foot after surviving a horrific car accident in 2018, and as a result, she has to wear a moon boot for the rest of her life.

The first picture of Sphelele shows her doting on her two daughters in the park, whilst the remaining two showcase her moon boot.

SPHELELE’S FOREVER CATCHING STRAYS

Itumeleng Khune has been in relationships with some of the most famous and gorgeous women in the entertainment industry, such as Minnie Dlamini and Sbahle Mpisane.

Consequently, Sphelele has often found herself unfairly caught in the mix of situations, such as when a troll made snarky remarks about her marriage, insinuating that it will also fall apart just like Itumeleng’s relationship with Minnie.

Sphelele clearly did not take kindly to this and shot back with a fiery “Are you, God?” Her response was refreshing since she rarely engages in social media drama.
