So the former Orlando Pirates dynamo has a new lease on life.
"There was no problem between myself and the coach at Pirates" he was heard saying to Robbie Marawa. But still he was an almost absent influence for the Bucaneers this season with only 6 starts in 24 league and cup outings. The exception - a Man of the Match appearance aganst the Dube Birds. His last appearance was on 22 December against the Tycoons in the PSL, the day he celebrated his 28th birthday.
What a turnaround from a player who was on top of his game in the Confederations Cup. But wasn't that 19 months ago. That said, Modise does possess a good footballing brain and at his best can wow the fans with his skill.

From the microphone of Rocky Evans. What a week it's been in the Absa Premiership.
Not only because it produced the 2nd highest amont of goals this season, but the number of teams that showed character by coming from behind to grab a points or points.
It all started on Saturday in Cape Town when newcomers Vasco appeared all set for their first win of 2011, then Chivuta grabbed a late equaliser for Free State Stars.
Worse was to come for Bidvest Wits. Leading 2 - 0 before half an hour had passed, Pirates staged a 2nd half comeback of note, along with inspired substitutions, to snatch victory and go top of the table!!!
Kaizer Chiefs ventured into the cauldron of Seisa Ramabodou Stadium and were down 2 - 0 after just 13 minutes. But the Amakhozi weren't done and again a 2nd half...
