He was born on the 9th of February 1990 in\u00a0Durban, South Africa. As of 2021, he is 31 years old.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Career<\/h2>\n

Khuzwayo joined AmaZulu from Durban Warriors in 2010. He made his debut on 22 September 2010 against Platinum Stars in a 2\u20132 draw. Khuzwayo played two more league games to finish with a total of 3. He was loaned to National First Division club Thanda Royal Zulu.<\/p>\n

Khuzwayo joined\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0at the end of the 2011\u201312 season signing a three-year contract which was finalised on 24 May 2012. On 23 May 2012, the day before Khuzwayo signed, AmaZulu general manager Peter O\u2019Connor suggested it was in the player\u2019s best interest that the club agreed to let him join Chiefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing that Tapuwa Kapini has another three years with us, it was agreed that we would release \u2018Casillas\u2019 [Khuzwayo] because he wouldn\u2019t be playing as the first-choice goalkeeper. So to enable him to get more game-time we have decided to allow him to join Chiefs after they had approached us for his services,\u201d He made his debut on 28 April 2013 against Platinum Stars at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. The match was billed as the title decider but ended 0\u20130.<\/p>\n

He won the league and cup double with Chiefs. In the 2013\u201314 season, he played four matches. He played in a 2\u20130 win over Golden Arrows in the league, another 2\u20130 against AS Vita in the CAF Champions League, a 1\u20130 win over Black Leopards and a 2\u20131 win over FC Buffalo, both in the Nedbank Cup.<\/p>\n

In the 2014\u201315 season, he played his first league match in a 2\u20131 win over the University of Pretoria conceding his first league goal since joining Chiefs. Ahead of the eagerly anticipated MTN 8 final, Khuzwayo was the favourite to be the goalkeeper in the absence of\u00a0Itumeleng Khune.<\/p>\n

Coach\u00a0Stuart Baxter\u00a0said \u201cItu is one of our top players, and of course we\u2019ll miss him. If my Lamborghini isn\u2019t working today then maybe I have to take the old Porsche. One of our \u2018keepers has now got to be a Porsche, maybe he\u2019s not a Lamborghini just yet, but he can be that Porsche.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if they step up.\u201d In his Soweto Derby debut on 20 September 2014, despite being written off as the \u201cweakest link\u201d, Khuzwayo made numerous saves in Chiefs\u2019 1\u20130 win over\u00a0Orlando Pirates\u00a0in the MTN 8 Final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durbanhis hometown, and he thanked everyone at the club, most notably Khune, after he received the Man of the Match award.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost I\u2019d like to thank my family, my brothers, my friends, everyone who believed in me, Itumeleng Khune, he was motivating me all the time since I came to Kaizer Chiefs, he\u2019s just an inspiration to me,\u201d<\/p>\n

After his agent initially denied the rumours that he was going to a return due to a knee injury in June 2019, he retired due to injury in July 2019, aged 29 and having never represented Orlando Pirates in a league match\u2026<\/p>\n

Khuzwayo has 29 U-23 caps. He got his first call-up in 2010 for a two-match tour in Tehran. He made his international debut for South Africa on 6 January 2012 against Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Personal life<\/h2>\n

Khuzwayo wears no. 16 because of his late mother who died in 2006 when he was aged 16. On 20 September 2014 during the 2014 MTN 8 Final, Khuzwayo\u2019s family home in P-section Umlazi was robbed.<\/p>\n

His aunt, Sibongile Khuzwayo wrote on a social network that only money and cellphones stolen and TV sets and other furniture was not stolen. The matter was not reported, choosing to approach their security company.<\/p>\n
