Lucas Radebe’s daughter, Owami, recently penned a heartfelt and poignant heavenly birthday letter to her late mother, Feziwe Faith Radebe. The year 2008 marked a profoundly challenging period for Lucas Radebe and his family, as they had to cope with the loss of their beloved mother, Feziwe.
Feziwe had garnered national adoration, with soccer fans deeply appreciating her unwavering support for Lucas, the renowned defender and Bafana Bafana legend. She was widely regarded as the sturdy foundation behind Lucas Radebe’s illustrious career.
Owami, her daughter, bared her soul as she took to Instagram to send a heartfelt letter to her mother. Owami, a rather private individual who rarely shares on social media, particularly Twitter, had her last post dating back to February 2023, opting instead to share stories in recent times. She maintained this discretion even when expressing her profound feelings towards her mother on her heavenly birthday.
She began by saying, “Happy heavenly birthday to my guardian angel forever. Every year, it gets more challenging.” Owami’s words were imbued with a deep sense of longing, underscoring the enduring pain of her mother’s absence. She continued, articulating her profound love for her mother and her heartfelt desire that her mother could still be with them in this earthly realm. “I wish you were still here with us; I love you, Mom,” Owami concluded, her emotions palpable through her heartfelt words.
The Radebe family has experienced profound changes since Feziwe Faith’s passing in 2008. In 2015, Lucas Radebe married his second wife, Thobela Silver, adding a new chapter to his family life.
As Owami takes a moment to celebrate her late mother’s heavenly birthday, it serves as a reminder of the enduring bonds of love within the Radebe family, a love that transcends the boundaries between this world and the next.
