Radebe signed a deal to join the Durban-based Sharks academy after finishing high school. He made one appearance for the Sharks U19s in 2013 in a 38–0 victory against Western Province U19 prior to joining them on a full-time basis.

He scored four tries – three in their two matches against former side Golden Lions and a fourth against Eastern Province, to help the side progress to the semi-finals, where they lost 20–43 to the Blue Bulls.
He made four appearances for UKZN Impi during the 2015 Varsity Shield, scoring 44 points on the way, and picked up a "Player That Rocks" award in the final, where he helped UKZN to silverware by beating Wits 29–24. Less than a week after the final, he was also included in the Sharks XV squad for the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition and made his first class debut in a defeat to a Free State XV. After another match in the Vodacom Cup against the SWD Eagles, he played in a match for a Varsity Cup Dream Team – with Radebe being only player from the second-tier Varsity Shield to be included – against the South Africa Under-20 squad as the latter prepared for the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, kicking one conversion in a 24–31 defeat.
