“To You Teko Modise Haters” – Mashilo

I have been quiet about this thing of saying that a team that Teko Modise is playing for never wins any major trophy until they let him go meaning he is a bad luck player.

You know at some point people should listen to themselves as they speak… people must stop taking the blame of Mamelodi Sundowns' under achievement to an individual (Teko). He isn’t playing alone, and he can’t change the whole thing alone.

He came to Sundowns and found a team which is well assembled but with players that have no hunger to success, who only know how to nurse their big egos like abo-Katlego Mphela, so what should Teko do about that?

Let’s not forget when Orlando Pirates won the MTN8 in 2010 Teko was still their player, and I was personally there in Soccer City (FNB Stadium) when he was booed by 60 000 fans against Kaizer Chiefs in the semifinals (first round); Bucs fans the same people who were supposed to be rallying behind him.

If Teko was a bad luck as some people are saying Pirates wouldn’t have won the MTN8 while he was still their player… so people should stop saying things just because they hate a person! So what about Lebogang Mokoena who played good football at Pirates with no major trophy, but when he left Pirates they started winning trophies, is he not a bad luck also?

You haters please leave Modise alone, you booed him in Bafana Bafana, you booed him again in your team and he left, you booed him even in the malls, but he is still going strong!

Why you always after Teko? Is it because he wasn’t groomed in a development academy? So you want to bring him down so that you can conclude that players who are not groomed in an academy are poor as you are now claiming?
