Football legend Lucas Radebe warmed hearts across South Africa on Monday 7 September 2026. A photo of the former Bafana Bafana captain standing alongside his wife and son at FNB Stadium went viral, pulling in nearly 180,000 views on X within hours of being posted by @BabyPana23.
The family had been at the stadium in Soweto over the weekend to watch the Springboks take on the All Blacks. It was a rare public glimpse of the private life Radebe has carefully guarded since remarrying, with fans learning for the first time that he had built a new family.
The Chief Still Stands Tall
Born on 12 April 1969 in Diepkloof, Soweto, Radebe grew up during South Africa's apartheid era and found his calling on the football pitch. He rose through the ranks at Kaizer Chiefs before Leeds United paid £250,000 to sign him in 1994. He went on to captain the English club from 1998 to 2002, making 256 appearances and earning the nickname "The Chief" from fans who adored his leadership and composure.
His international career matched the scale of his club legacy. He captained Bafana Bafana to victory at the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations and led South Africa at the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups. Leeds fans famously worshipped him, with Nelson Mandela once calling him a hero of the nation.
Mzansi Reacts to the Family Photo
The post sparked warm conversation, with many fans surprised to learn Radebe had remarried. @BabyPana23 confirmed the couple had been together since 2015. Comments also referenced Radebe's son Primo, who is reportedly based in Amsterdam.
