The salary that will reflect in Itumeleng Khune's bank account end of May will be the penultimate that will come from what Kaizer Chiefs have termed his last playing contract.
Chiefs have indicated that this will be the last deal for the veteran keeper, who was honoured for 25 years' service last Saturday, giving the biggest signal that this is the end of the road for Khune as a player at the club.

Nothing is cast in stone, with Khune insisting that he wants to play until he is 40 and not end his playing journey upon turning 37 in June.
"I don't know his fitness state because when you get older, it is important to know how to manage your body," Hans Vonk tells KickOff.com.
Vonk knows Khune from Bafana Bafana.
"You must train more as you get older, but I don't know if he has that ambition.
"If he has the ambition, then it is worth it to continue because he feels like it.
"I played until I was 41 and enjoyed every moment and felt like I could have played another two seasons, but injuries can be an issue at that stage.
"If the ambition and hunger is still there, then he must continue playing.
"If not, it would also be nice for the history books to have a player like Itu who played all his career for one club like Kaizer Chiefs.
"I think his legendary status will be respected more that way because he would have been a one-club man all his career.
"How often do you get that?" says Vonk, who also speaks at length about Khune.
"The big smile is what I always remember about Itu, who I hope to visit at the hotel with Chiefs playing in Cape Town on Saturday," says the retired keeper.
Vonk met Khune in the Bafana Bafana squad in 2007 when the Chiefs keeper was starting out in the senior national team.
"Whenever I saw Itu coming to training, there was always this huge smile on his face.
"He was a jovial chap.
"It didn't matter that it was in the morning at breakfast or in the bus to training, there was a big smile that I always admired.
"What I then saw in Itu the goalkeeper was a talented keeper who came across as being naturally gifted.
"The type that you don't get to see often.
"When it came to his training sessions, he was a serious, friendly and humble person if you may ask me.
"As a goalkeeper, I really liked him, and we must agree on that there hasn't been anyone who distributes the ball better than he does with his famous kick.
"I liked his overall performance in goal, even though sometimes he over-exaggerated a little bit on the field.
"Otherwise, he was a keeper that I liked to watch when he was in goal.
"I think he should have tried to push harder to get to Europe, but I think he was disadvantaged by his height.
"The unfortunate part is that height is something that you cannot change.
"Itu could have made the cut anywhere in Europe, but I don't know what his personal ambition was because I know players in Jo'burg get paid very well.

"Maybe it was lack of ambition, I'm just guessing, I can't judge.
"I would have loved to see him in Europe showing his abilities to another audience," says Vonk.
