Teko Modise throws weight behind Sundowns star Themba Zwane for Footballer of the Season award

Outgoing Cape Town City midfielder Teko Modise strongly believes that Themba Zwane deserves to win the Footballer of the Season award.

Speaking to the media at the club's end-of-season awards ceremony on Monday, the 36-year-old said the reason Zwane is one of the most underrated players in South Africa could be the fact that he doesn't step on the ball.

According to Modise, Zwane has contributed far more than any other player in South Africa this season.

"Zwane does not get the praise he deserves because many do not realize what he is actually doing in Africa‚ in the league and with the national team," Modise told the media.
