WHAT RADEBE SAID TO MOFOKENG

Radebe, who was also present at the awards ceremony, emphasised the importance of planning for life after football. 

He advised Mofokeng to use his current success as a platform to secure his future beyond his playing career.

“You know, a time like this when you are on the high, it is very important because there is life after football, and that comes quick with a lot of responsibilities, so you have a chance,” said the Bafana Bafana legend.
