Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana Captain Lucas Radebe has reflected on his brief return to Naturena for an exhibition match held at the Kaizer Chiefs Village.
Radebe rolled back the years as he and several Kaizer Chiefs legends took part in an exhibition match against SuperSport 2022 FIFA World Cup analysis and staff.
The match ended in a 7-4 victory for the Amakhosi legends, with a line-up that included Brian Baloyi, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Reneilwe Letsholonyane among others.
The club's technical staff consisting of David Mathebula and team manager Gerald Sibeko also featured for the legends' team.

Radebe, who donned the black and gold of Kazier Chiefs from 1989 to 1994 before a securing a move to English Premier League side Leeds United, recounted his fond memories at the Kaizer Chiefs Village.
"This is where I started as a professional player. It's great to come back and see how far the Club has come as well," the centre-back told Chiefs' official site.

"The progress made since my playing days has been unbelievable. To see the boys again and to play football again on these fields for me was a real highlight. It brought back such great memories and it was so good to play with different generations of Chiefs players,].
"It was great to be around them, to be able to sit and chat and have some banter in the dressing room. It makes you appreciate where you come from. Kaizer Chiefs is a tight-knit family and it was great to be part of it again,"
