Sphelele is the wife of legendary Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune. She posted several photos on Instagram showing moments with her two daughters. The first photo shows her enjoying time with them in the park.
Meanwhile, two other pictures clearly show the moon boot on her right foot.
Soon after, social media users noticed the boot and started commenting about it.
Why the Moon Boot Sparked Online Reactions
The attention around the moon boot quickly grew because of Khune’s past relationship. Previously, Khune dated fitness personality Sbahle Mpisane.
In 2018, Mpisane survived a horrific car accident that permanently injured her right foot. Since then, she has worn a moon boot for support.
Because of this history, some users quickly compared the two situations online. As a result, several comments appeared under Sphelele’s post.

Sphelele Often Faces Social Media Criticism
Sphelele frequently receives criticism due to Khune’s past relationships. The goalkeeper previously dated several famous women in entertainment. These include television personality Minnie Dlamini and fitness influencer Sbahle Mpisane.
Consequently, trolls sometimes involve Sphelele in unrelated online debates. For example, one troll predicted her marriage would fail like Khune’s relationship with Minnie.
Sphelele responded strongly to the comment. She replied with the sharp question: “Are you, God?”
Her response surprised many fans because she rarely engages in online drama.
