There has been no progress on talks between star goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune and league leaders Kaizer Chiefs to extend his contract past the end of the season, raising the possibility that the 27-year-old might have played his last game for the club, where he has been for 14 years.

Officials and agents, speaking on condition of anonymity, have confirmed no new deal has been signed with just one month left before Khune is free to enter into contract negotiations with other parties.

Lawyers representing former President Nelson Mandela’s ex-wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, have slammed the Presidency for filing a notice to oppose an application by her to have access to State documents.

Madikizela-Mandela wants government to furnish information about the right of ownership of the former President’s Qunu property in the Eastern Cape.

Lawyer Mvuzo Notyesi says correct procedures have not been followed by the State attorney.

Notyesi says it can never be the correct approach to simply proceed to file notices to oppose before a case is completed.

He maintains that what the State has done is irregular and incorrect in terms of the rules, but he says such will be dealt with according to the rules of court.

According to Notyesi, they have written several notices to the State attorney requesting information pertaining to ownership of the property.

Presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj has confirmed that the State attorney filed a notice to oppose the action, “pending instructions from the President”. – Additional reporting by Sapa
