My Take

Teko Modise is the kind of name that carries genuine romance. A former Bafana Bafana captain nicknamed the General, the Navigator and Techno M, he collected not one but three monikers, which tells you he had something magnetic about him. Rising out of Soweto, a place etched with the memory of apartheid, to become the face of his national team is an achievement I deeply admire. Now serving on the staff at Cape Town City, the man who once charted his own path on the pitch has turned to guiding the next generation. Still the Navigator, even in retirement. That is a life well shaped.
