In his memoir, The Curse of Teko Modise, the soccer star revealed that he lived on the streets after being abandoned by his father. At the height of his career, his father came searching for him, but he wasn’t interested in reconciliatio
Modise was quoted by TimesLIVE as saying: “”My dad knows where my family stays. If he wants to see me he must organise a meeting with the family. He can’t just get hold of me on television now that I am Teko Modise. These were issues that we could have solved privately.”
