According to a report by journalist Rapulane Tabane posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, 13 July, Koketso is allegedly demanding R1.2 million as part of the divorce settlement.
The amount is said to cover an overdraft and other financial obligations she believes Teko should settle before the official end of their marriage.
While the couple is reportedly seeking a peaceful separation, financial disagreements appear to be complicating the process.
The news has reignited public interest in Modise’s personal life, with fans and social media users expressing a mix of sympathy and criticism.
