Lucas Radebe’s Advice to Relebohile Mofokeng

“You know, times like this, when you are on a high, it’s very important, that’s when you need to focus,” said Radebe. He wasn’t just praising Mofokeng. He was warning him.

Radebe stressed that life after football comes quickly and with responsibilities. “So you’ve got a chance,” he added. It was both encouragement and caution. Many South African stars lost their way.

Jabu Mahlangu dazzled but faded due to off-field issues. Benedict Vilakazi was once untouchable, but distractions slowed him down. Lerato Chabangu, once compared to the greats, disappeared from the spotlight too soon.

Radebe’s words carry weight because he lived through the highs and survived the lows. Mofokeng, gifted with talent and attention, must now choose the right path. Radebe’s message was clear—success after football depends on what you do today.
