Playing career

Khuboni spent his youth career at a number of local amateur clubs before joining Golden Arrows in 2006. He was part of the Arrows team that won the 2009 MTN 8 Cup. Khuboni played in every minute of Arrows' 30 games in the 2011–12 season.[2] In January 2013, Khuboni was linked with a transfer to an unnamed German Bundesliga club as his contract was expiring at the end of the season.[3] Arrows subsequently exercised a 1-year option they had on his contract, thus tying him to the club until the end of the 2013–14 season.[4]

International career

Khuboni made his international debut for South Africa on 27 January 2010 in a 3–0 victory against Zimbabwe in a friendly match played in Durban.[5] He was part of the South African squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup[6] and played in their final group stage match against France.[7]

gollark: I was on a somewhat tight budget, so it's two partial-cube-edgey-bits and assorted wiring off to the side.
gollark: Well, two, but your other end is going to be on the ME core where it's nice and cheap to run dense cables or whatever.
gollark: You have a ME P2P tunnel on one end, and another on the other end, and bind them together, and then you can run 32 channels over that one channel the P2P tunnel takes.
gollark: All 32 channels are supplied by a single channel of P2P-backbone network on my main base cable.
gollark: Crystal growth, weird stuff I forgot to move, inscribers, chargers, AA laser, fluid transposer.
