'''Teko Tsholofelo Modise''' (born 22 December 1982), nicknamed '''The General''' and '''Techno M''', is a South African retired professional [[Association football|footballer]], former [[Bafana Bafana]] captain who played as a [[midfielder]] and who is currently a staff member at [[Cape Town City F.C. (2016)|Cape Town City Football Club]].
Regarded as one of the greatest PSL players of the modern era today, Modise's career began in the lower leagues of South African football with Ria Stars and [[Pietersburg Pillars|City Pillars]]. During his time with the latter, he won the [[National First Division|Mvela Golden League]] Player of the Season award, which earned him a move to top-flight side [[SuperSport United F.C.|SuperSport United]] in 2006. The following season he joined local rivals [[Orlando Pirates F.C.|Orlando Pirates]] with whom he spent six years, winning two [[PSL Footballer of the Year]] awards, including the inaugural award, and two club honors. Whilst at Pirates, he earned the nickname ''"the General"'' for his ability to direct play and soon became a regular within the national team set-up.
Following a falling-out with club management in 2011, he transferred to [[Mamelodi Sundowns F.C.|Mamelodi Sundowns]] where he spent a further six years and won no fewer than five club titles. He also captained the side for the [[2012-13 Premier Soccer League|2012–13 season]]. In 2017, he chose not to renew his contract with the club, electing instead to sign for [[Cape Town City F.C. (2016)|Cape Town City]] where he remained until his retirement in 2019.
Modise also made 66 appearances for the [[South Africa national football team|South Africa national team]] between 2007 and 2012, and represented the nation at the [[2008 Africa Cup of Nations]], [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]], and [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] tournaments.
==Early life==

[[File:Orlando pirates team photo.jpg|thumb|Teko Modise (bottom right) with Orlando Pirates]]

He was suspended for boycotting training in 2011, later revealing that he had done so because of the way the club had treated him.<ref name=KO>{{cite web|url=http://www.kickoff.com/news/19929/the-rise-and-fall-of-teko-modise|title=The rise and fall of Teko Modise|website=Kick Off|date=28 January 2011|access-date=17 August 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soccerladuma.co.za/news/articles/categories/players-abroad/teko-modise-has-opened-up-on-his-failed-move-overseas/207675|title=Teko: Why My Overseas Move Never Materialised|website=Soccer Laduma|last=Kappel|first=David|date=24 April 2015|access-date=17 August 2017}}</ref>
===Mamelodi Sundowns===

===Personal life===
In 2007, following his move to Orlando Pirates, Modise allegedly made a plea to be reunited with his father. He later denied the reports on local radio station, Radio 702. The reports nonetheless drew widespread media interest and saw Kenneth Ngobani, a resident of the surrounding township, claim that while he was not Modise's father, he had raised him after his step-father had kicked him out of the home he lived in with his mother. He claimed further that Modise's mother had not visited him during this time and that he had groomed him into the soccer player he would later become.<ref name=Pa/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/sowetan/archive/2007/12/18/man-who-groomed-modise-shows-up|title=Man who groomed Modise shows up|website=Sowetan Live|date=18 December 2007|access-date=29 August 2017}}</ref>

Modise later proposed to Tabane but the engagement was broken in 2015 after rumours of infidelity surfaced against her.<ref name=CP/>
In 2014, reports emerged that Modise owed a friend R10 000 after he had promised him a job at Mamelodi Sundowns in order to borrow the money from him. Concurrent reports also indicated that he owed fellow footballer [[May Mahlangu]] more than R40 000  for designer goods he bought for ex-fiancé Tabane.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jacarandafm.com/news/entertainment/teko-modise-in-financial-trouble/|title=Teko Modise in financial trouble?|website=Jacardanda FM|date=29 July 2014|access-date=16 August 2017}}</ref> The following year, Modise was forced to sell his home in the [[West Rand]] to a private buyer after he had defaulted on bond payments for a number of months.
