“In football, we don’t talk about coping with depression,” he spoke, as per Sunday World.
“I went and bought a car because I was depressed. I felt the need to be loved and accepted.
“A wiser me wouldn’t go and buy material things to make myself feel good. That was a bad decision.
“I thought the financial flexibility I had would fill the void – it was about trying to belong.
“I had no business buying a car that cost me R22 000 a month. But the best education is experience.
“What I had done taught me a lot about finances in general.”
“I made a decision a few years ago that I don’t have to be this superstar that wears branded clothing and drives a certain car because that’s what people expect of me.
“To be honest, that came with playing for City, that move humbled me. I realised I didn’t have to prove anything to anyone, and that’s when I began to make smarter choices.
“Of course, the temptation is there, but I am comfortable with myself now.” He concluded.
Currently, Dona works as a football analyst and brand ambassador. Teko Modise Explains How He Financially Changed His Life!
