Portia Modise Named Clinix Ambassador

Portia Modise has recently become the ambassador for Clinix, a healthcare group in South Africa. The former Banyana Banyana captain is known for her contributions to women’s football and her advocacy for health and wellness. Modise’s partnership with Clinix will focus on promoting healthcare awareness and encouraging healthy lifestyles within communities.

She expressed excitement about the collaboration and looks forward to making a positive impact through this role. The Clinix Health Group has announced TS Galaxy striker Bernard Parker, Banyana Banyana legend Portia Modise, and Olympic silver medalist Luvo Manyonga as its ambassadors in a campaign that seeks to educate and raise awareness about prevalent substance addiction.

Founded in 1992 by Dr Khamane Obed Peter Matseke, the black-owned hospital group runs eight healthcare facilities across South Africa. Statistics shockingly reveal that one in four pre-teens have experimented with psychoactive drugs and that a third of South Africans, who are 15 years and older, are current drinkers and almost 60% of those engage in binge drinking.”

Majola explained further: “As a people-centred brand, we would like this campaign to not only raise awareness about the adverse effects of substance and illicit drug use but to also drive a message of empathy that will encourage individuals struggling with substance use disorders and addiction to seek help and get support, which is what we offer at our various wellness centres across Gauteng.

Parker, Modise, and Manyongo will work closely with Clinix to drive the overarching message of fostering empathy and destigmatising addiction and substance use disorders. Modise is well-remembered for her highest achievement of becoming the first African player to score 100 goals in international football back in 2014.
