Junior Khanye latest news

Junior Thabo Khanye, born on June 18, 1985, is a former South African footballer who played in the PSL for Malanti Chiefs, Kaizer Chiefs, Maritzburg United, and Platinum Stars.

Khanye’s career trajectory began in 2003 when he was promoted from the Kaizer Chiefs academy to their first team after showing promise. Despite Despite initial optimism, his time at Chiefs was characterized by limited playing opportunities and a single goal scored in two years.

Off-field issues hindered his on-field performance, leading to a loan spell at HP Silver Stars during the 2005/06 season. After a brief stint there, he joined Maritzburg United for the 2008/09 season, but struggled to secure regular playing time.

Throughout his PSL career, Khanye made only 26 starts for Chiefs, Silver Stars, and Maritzburg United. He also had stints at United FC, where he scored a goal in the 2011 Nedbank Cup against Orlando Pirates.

His playing career eventually fizzled out, and Khanye transitioned into a pundit role, known for his controversial takes. Despite once being regarded as one of Kaizer Chiefs’ most promising young players, he faced personal challenges that derailed his career.
