A Look At Teko Modise’s House Brouhaha

The drama surrounding Teko Modise’s house started in 2019 when it was reported that the ex-Supersports player was about to be kicked out of his beautiful house because he was unable to make bond repayments. Reports have it that his negative credit profile in the previous years, (caused by the loss of his houses and cars) caused him to secure a home loan in the year 2015.

A South African company known as SB Guaranteecompany had presented documents in court showing that they provided a guarantee for Teko Modise to enable him to acquire a loan of more than R2.7 million to purchase his house in Fourways back in the month of October 2016. The agreement was for Teko Modise to pay R32, 000 monthly for 240 months but the footballer defaulted.

There were records that showed the former footballer had defaulted in payments for 14 months and although he was given written notices asking him to update his payments, there was no positive response from him. The company was then forced to ask the court of law to grant it an order to auction off Modise’s mansion.

Some sources reported that a mystery buyer surprisingly came to the rescue a day before the auction while others claim that Tekoā€™s lawyers informed the bankā€™s lawyers that they had secured a ā€œprivate buyerā€ for the property. The buyer was said to have made an offer of R2,000,000, which was accepted and the public auction was then canceled.

It was gathered that the mystery buyer did not kick Teko out of the house as both parties entered an agreement for the retired footballer to keep living in the house. During that period too, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) was reported to have named Modise among 10 prominent South Africans who have not complied in filing their tax returns.
