Lucas Radebe

The Leeds United legend remembers the high emotion of winning the Africa Cup of Nations with South Africa in 1996

It’s 25 years since South Africa won football’s African Cup of Nations on home soil following the fall of Apartheid. Former Leeds United defender Lucas Radebe was part of the team and was later hailed by Nelson Mandela as his hero. He talks to Ashley Byrne about an emotional victory for the new “Rainbow Nation” and his own upbringing in Soweto. The programme is a Made-In-Manchester Production.
