Editorial| Yesterday brought down the curtain on two faithful servants of football: Teko “General” Modise and Siyabonga “Bhele” Nomvethe. We salute you Bhele and General.
You don’t have to look any further than the number of caps they piled up for Bafana Bafana, with Nomvethe standing at 81 with 16 goals and Modise making 66 appearances, chipping in 10 goals.
Nomvethe is the epitome of longevity as even this season, at the ripe age of 41, he could still outpace some players who were half his age. Modise picked himself up from some misbehaviour that saw him make headlines for all the wrong reasons. He turned his life around, releasing a book, The Curse of Teko Modise, two years ago – something that Bhele should consider doing as he also has an interesting story to tell – and now retires on a high with The Citizens.
