Old not cold? Khune celebrates birthday en route to Clash of Legends
The retired goalkeeper hung up his boots last year and has ventured into a new career in construction and sports betting.
Four countries will play in the one-day tournament – South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia. SA will take on Zambia, while Botswana will play Namibia. The winners will face off against each other in the final later in the evening.
On his social media account, Itumeleng Khune marked his 38th birthday with exciting news. The popular player revealed that he was en route to catch a flight for a match that featured many of his old soccer colleagues.
'38 Never looked this good 🎂👌 Botswana here we come', he captioned a picture of himself and his luggage. View this post on Instagram

Khune is no doubt excited to play on the pitch again – Botswana's Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown – this time for the Clash of the Legends competition.
The former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper and captain is one of many living legends who will participate in the charity tournament, which will raise funds for athletes living with disabilities. Each country will select a beneficiary, which will receive proceeds on its behalf. View this post on Instagram

From 'Moonlit' musings to 'Technicolor' dreams: unmissable stage shows you need to see
There are still a few more days left to catch Aldo Brincat's 'The Moon Looks Delicious From Here' at the Market Theatre. Based on Brincat's personal experiences as a first-generation South African, this multi-award-winning production explores themes of identity, sexuality, and heritage. Directed by Sjaka Septembir, the music is helmed by celebrated singer and songwriter Bongeziwe Mabandla. Last year, it bagged a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award at the 50th anniversary of the National Arts Festival (2024) and the Special Jury Award at the Bitesize Theatre Festival in London. Brincat takes on numerous local and foreign family characters in this one-hander. A stage veteran, he effortlessly slips into the skin of these characters as they grapple with an ever-changing political landscape, while also torn by other key issues that reach a boiling point. Brincat revealed: ' This show is universal in its theme, particularly at this time when the intersectional knock-on effects of migrancy, sexuality, heritage and identity are brought increasingly into our consciousness. It makes us question what and who we think belongs, probing our conventional understanding of identity, family, ancestry and nationality.' Where: Barney Simon, Market Theatre. When: Runs until July 27, 7pm. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat If musicals are your kryptonite, look no further than this masterpiece by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Produced by Pieter Torien and the Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA), this family entertainer is infectious and will have everyone snapping their fingers. Featuring an outstanding ensemble of LAMTA graduates, the musical score ranges from favourite pop tracks to classics like 'Any Dream Will Do', 'Close Every Door', 'There's One More Angel in Heaven' and 'Go, Go, Go Joseph'. Where: Pieter Torien Montecasino Main Theatre. When: Runs until September 28, 3pm and 7.30pm.
