Teko Modise faces R1.2 million divorce settlement dispute

Former South African football star Teko Modise is facing a fresh legal battle as he and his estranged wife, Koketso Chipane, struggle to finalise the terms of their divorce, with a proposed R1.2 million settlement at the centre of the dispute.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2021, are reportedly pursuing an amicable separation. However, disagreements over financial matters have complicated the process, particularly Chipane's demand for the R1.2 million payout, which she says would cover personal expenses and an overdraft.

Modise, one of South Africa's most celebrated midfielders during his playing days with Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and the national team, is said to be contesting the amount, leading to protracted negotiations between the two parties.

This is not the first time Modise has gone through a high-profile divorce. He was previously married to Felicia Mokoena, with their marriage ending in 2013 after three years.

The latest dispute has sparked debate on social media, with fans and followers sharing mixed opinions about the financial aspects of the separation. While both Modise and Chipane have remained largely silent in public, sources close to the couple say they are committed to resolving the matter privately and avoiding unnecessary public drama.

As legal proceedings continue, the focus remains on whether the former footballer and his estranged wife can reach a mutually agreeable settlement that brings closure to their short-lived marriage.
