WATCH: Former Bafana Bafana star Teko Modise spills the tea on ex-fiancée, ‘She framed me for abuse’

Former South African soccer player Teko Modise claims his ex-fiancée Lizelle Tabane falsely accused him of abuse, on an episode of Podcast And Chill on 9 December.

Teko Modise, who is affectionately known as “The General”, sat down with controversial podcast host MacG and Sol Phenduka on the latest episode of Podcast And Chill. In his interview, he opened up about his previous relationships.

Teko and his ex-fiancée Lizelle Tabane were in an on and off relationship since they first hooked up in 2013. The pair got engaged the same year but Teko reportedly demanded a refund on the lobola he paid for her. In 2015, Lizelle accused the former Mamelodi Sundowns player of abusing her.

However, Teko says that he was falsely accused of abusing the model. He claims that someone else abused her and she had those pictures on her phone when they began dating.

“I remember when we started dating there were pictures on her phone. I think somebody abused her or something like that. She had scars and all of that stuff, right. So when we broke up… she took the same pictures… the same pictures went to the media and said I was beating her up,” said Teko.

Teko also said that he considered the relationship to be toxic.

“It was scary because at the time I was still having endorsements. It was very toxic for me. She is a beautiful person, a beautiful woman,” he continued.

Teko Modise just revealed that Lizelle wanted to frame him for abuse using old pics from her previous relationship, how evil can a person be, people are using GBV for own vendettas ??‍♂️??‍♂️ #TekoModise #PodcastAndChill

The retired midfielder also spoke about his first marriage to Felicia Modise, the pair tied the knot in 2010. He explained that he married her because she was pregnant and he wanted to take responsibility for the baby. The pair share a daughter together and got divorced in 2013.

“The first marriage… I wasn’t ready to be honest with you. When it happened, we were not dating. So I was scared to be what my father was to me. She was pregnant, so I decided to marry her because she was pregnant with my baby. I took responsibility,” said Teko.

Teko added that he was not in love with Felicia.

“The problem was that I learnt about the person in the marriage, I didn’t know who the person was and it was really difficult for me because I wasn’t in love with this person,” he continued.

The General also spoke about his current marriage with Koketso Chipane. The pair have been together since 2017 and tied the knot, in a traditional wedding earlier this year.

In October, Koketso announced that she is pregnant with a beautifully filmed video at the beach. The pair are expecting a baby boy. Teko revealed that he is much more involved this time around.

“What I liked about the pregnancy is that it was actually planned. I got to go to every scan. To me it felt like the first baby because all of the stuff that I never used to do. (It was) because I was still a footballer and training and all of that stuff,” said Teko.

“So to me it feels like the first baby that’s why I’m so excited about it,” he continued.
