Itumeleng Khune is the second most capped South African international of all time, behind Aaron Mokoena

The South Africa national soccer team played their first international in 1906,[1] and were founder members of the Confederation of African Football in 1956, but due to their apartheid system were banned from the confederation in 1958 and from FIFA in 1976.[2] The South Africa national team was readmitted to both following the end of apartheid and its only major honour came in 1996 when it won the Africa Cup of Nations.
