Happy birthday 🎂🎉 to Former Banyana Banyana player and the first African Footballer to score 100 International goals Portia Modise.

Portia “Bashin” Modise was born on 20 June 1983 in White City Soweto, Transvaal (now Gauteng Province). Modise chose football at a young age over the more popular girls’ choice of netball. She started playing soccer at the age of seven. She grew up playing football in the street with the boys in her neighbourhood, and began playing with the Soweto Rangers at the under-10 level. She played as a central striker. She started playing for the South African Women’s National team, Banyana Banyana, in 2000 at the age of 16 years old.

In 2000, Modise made her debut in the African Women’s Championships (AWC).

She also played a key role on the road to the final of the African Women’s Championship held in Equatorial Guinea on 15 – 19 November 2008. In 2003, she had a trial with the British team, Arsenal women’s squad, but saw the move curtailed due to financial issues.

She played for soccer teams such as Falcons F.C, Soweto Ladies F.C, and Croesus Ladies. In 2007, Modise signed a two-year deal to play for Denmark’s Fortuna HjÁ¸rring in the Elitedivisionen, before returning to South Africa in 2009 to play for the Palace Super Falcons.

In 2008, she quit international football after falling out with the coach at the time, Augustine Makalakalane. Makalakalane was later accused of sexual harassment and homophobia and eventually sacked. She was recalled by new coach Joseph Mkhonza in 2012 and scored South Africa’s only goal at the 2012 London Olympics. She was the most valuable player in the FIFA Stars Team in China.

As SA continues to fight against the scourge of gender-based violence, famous faces such as Unathi Nkayi are on a mission to educate men about why their insensitive or violating behaviour is wrong.

Unathi took to Instagram to call out an unnamed man who allegedly violated her earlier this week while she was on air. The man allegedly video called Unathi, only to shove his genitals in her face.

“I’m a woman and I repeatedly told him I hate video calls. Video calls when he is clothed. He then slaps his dick in my face. Don’t do this to yourself. I’ve kept quiet coz I thought you were genuinely listening to my sisters. People who openly seek instant sexual validation are more often than not carrying a sexual trauma themselves. If this is you, seek help,” Unathi said in her comments.

Women flooded her comments section recounting their personal experiences with similar “rapey” actions and commentary. Among the hundreds of women were fellow female media personalities Zizo Tshwete and Candice Modiselle, who have both spoken out against GBV in the past.

“The other day I posted a thread about the many faces of sexual coercion as assault, which was seemingly ‘controversial’. Though I wasn’t particularly surprised by the defensiveness many of the replies came with. I was appalled at the flood of responses where men were justifying their rapey ways, entitlement to women’s bodies and complete disregard for consent. There is so much learning and unlearning to be done and it starts with these kinds of conversations. Thank you for sharing,” Candice said.

“First of all he isn’t a gentleman. Let’s agree on that. Your first no should be enough. Why are there some men who believe that they will eventually wear you down and that you will change your no to a yes? Then to say he wants to go to coffee to make it up to you – there are a few really great therapists that we can recommend to this guy because he evidently needs help. This unsettled me so much because what if next time you don’t have physical distance from him?” Zizo commented on the video.

Prince Kaybee: Imagine releasing an album with the same beat throughout

Perhaps it wasn’t intentional or maybe it was. Either way, Twitter is certain Prince Kaybee’s latest advice about making music advice was actually a low-key sub-tweet aimed at a certain DJ he has beefed with.

Prince Kaybee took to social media to share his thoughts on what makes a great album. He noted that great albums offer variety, and took jabs at albums that sound like “one long song”.

“Imagine an album that has the same beat throughout. Literally every song sounds the same,” he said.

The uWrongo hitmaker shared his wisdom on the subject, saying artists needed to spend more time making their albums.

“Try making an album over a longer period of time to avoid sounding the same. The mind needs to rest for new ideas.”

Having been prone to attracting negative feedback with his tweets in the past, Prince Kaybee quickly defended his statement.

“Before you attack me, I have experienced that, as a creative, the spirit of genius visits you sometimes. It is not always there. So when you are going through a creative block, stop. The music will sound forced if you carry on,” he said.
