Lucas Radebe, SA's celebrated soccer legend was born in Diepkloof, Soweto. Soccer was one of his favourite pastimes, and his talent was soon spotted by Kaizer Chief Scouts, who signed him up. He captained Bafana Bafana, Kaizer Chiefs and Leeds United and led South Africa to two World Cups. Radebe received a Master of Social Science honoris causa from UCT for his humanitarian work with various educational, social and charitable initiatives in South Africa.
