“My dad knows where my family stays. If he wants to see me he must organize a meeting with the family. He can’t just get hold of me on television now that I am Teko Modise. These were issues that we could have solved privately,” Teko says.

After years of no communication with his father, Steven Sekgaila he got a phone call from the SABC 1 show, which reconnects family members. Teko says whilst his father’s intentions may have been good, he didn’t appreciate his “dodgy” approach.

He wished his father had done things differently then maybe they would have had some sort of relationship today.

“This is the guy who threw me out on the streets like I was nothing and never looked back. Now that I am famous he wants to be with me.
