As Mzansi continues to juggle its daily dose of drama, legendary goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune and his wife who is an Instagram Influencer and Entrepreneur Sphelele Makhunga Khune have wisely hit pause on the chaos — swapping the stress for peace on a blissful Zimbabwean vacation.

Together since 2019 and raising two adorable kids, the power couple clearly knows when it’s time to unplug — and they are doing it in style.

Never one to leave his fans out of the fun, Khune took to Instagram to drop some holiday snaps, serving both vacation envy and couple goals.

And in case the pics didn’t already have you feeling warm and fuzzy, Khune sealed the moment with a heart-melting caption: “I love doing this life thing with you.”
