Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs footballer Itumeleng Khune is ready to make his bae, Sphelele Makhunga, a Mrs, and he isn't about to fumble.

The pair, who have been dating for several months, had social media in a tizz at the weekend when Sphelele posted an image of her dressed like a makoti.

In the caption she recorded the date, next to emojis of cows and a ring. She also thanked her bae.

The snap appeared to have been posted to Itu's Instagram account, but is no longer there.

The couple confirmed their relationship on social media earlier this year, after rumours that the footballer and Sbahle Mpisane had split.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Sphelele said the pair were not together when Itu was involved with Sbahle, but revealed that she and Itu had dated before.

When asked if wedding bells may be on the cards soon, she responded: “Once I'm stable. Definitely!”
