SA says Portia Modise should be hosting sports shows, not Anele
'The fact that Anele and Minnie are working for SuperSport but Portia Modise is unemployed doesn’t sit well for me,' wrote a Tweep.
South Africans have taken to social media in numbers to call on sports channels to consider employing soccer legend Portia Modise. Many of them pointed out that media personalities like Anele Mdoda and Minnie Dlamini should not be hosting sports shoes while experienced soccer stars like Portia Modise are jobless.
Some people suggested that the former Banyana Banyana player start her own podcast and rather find success for herself.

South African soccer legend Portia Modise recently spoke out about how women in soccer are often treated unfairly compared to men.
“I still maintain that female footballers are ill-treated and underpaid compared to the men and that’s a fact.”
After her interview with Drum Magazine, many South Africans started discussing her career and how unfair it is that she isn’t hosting a sports show.

“Maybe she needs to do a MacG and start her own uncensored soccer podcast. Imagine if she teamed up with Junior Khanye with Betway as a sponsor. Sometimes if they don’t want you, you should create your own path.”
