Lucas "Masterpieces" Moripe (5 February 1950 – 19 November 2024) was a South African soccer player who played as a midfielder.
Described as "probably the greatest ball player the country has known"[2][3] and nicknamed "the god of football" by fans, Moripe was unable to play at a higher level due to the sports boycott of the apartheid government.
Moripe joined Orlando Pirates in 1981, although by then he was already suffering from the effects of a persistent knee injury, and retired shortly after.
William, nicknamed "King of Bling", is a suspected crime lord and convicted criminal,[5] and Moripe said that he "failed as a father to look after William and guide him as a parent".
[6] Moripe suffered a mild stroke and used crutches as a result of his knee injury.
