It was former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt who saw the 21-year-old’s potential and promoted him from the DStv Diski Challenge to the Glamour Boys’ senior team where he has seized the opportunity afforded to him.

In Sunday’s Carling Black Label Cup clash against bitter Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates, Sabelo Radebe was one of the standout players on the pitch.

In an interview with Kickoff, former Kaizer Chiefs defender Isaacs raved about Sabelo Radebe’s performance against Orlando Pirates.

“I was very impressed with that young boy Radebe,” Isaacs said.

“I’ve watched a few games of him in the MDC, and if he has a solid head, and I hope that they’ve learned from the past mistakes of former players that had the potential to become great and fell off along the way.

“Praise must go to Arthur [Zwane] as well because of the boys that are coming through, such as Blom, Ngcobo and Mashiane. If you look ahead over the next seven or eight years, the club is in very good hands with these players coming through.

“That boy [Radebe] he’s got so much energy, confidence, and he’s young. He’s playing freely, and he always wants the ball. The maturity he is showing beyond his age is very good, very encouraging.

“Chiefs have a star in him,” Isaacs concluded.
