Ex-Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise has spoken about a period of his youth when he was eight when he was a 'street kid' and lived 'in the veld'.
“So whenever there were guys coming to try to lure me to go and play for them he didn't like it — I'd get a beating. So you know when as a kid somebody tells you not to do a thing you actually go out and do it.
“So we never actually had a relationship after that because once he kicked me out at eight, and then I became a street kid for a few months. The first time I ate Chicken Licken was from a dustbin. “... I had to stay being a street kid. I didn't know where my mom got the message from and I also didn't know where she was, and then she came back and searched for me until she found me.”“Look, I had an opportunity last year or the year before seeing my dad for the first time since I was eight. I tried to ask him and he was still not telling the truth,” he said.
