Teko Modise fails to dribble the tax man
Updated | By Neo Motloung
Former Bafana Bafana and current Cape Town City midfielder Teko Modise has been convicted and fined by the South African Revenue Services (SARS) for failure to submit tax returns.

Modise is one of the ten taxpayers convicted by the revenue services since April.
Sars, along with the NPA, has issued a total of 35 summonses to taxpayers and VAT vendors to face criminal charges over the past three months.
Modise's name appeared alongside nine others in a statement by Sars on Monday.
Speaking at the launch of his book in November last year, Modise revealed how he blew R22 000 a month on an Aston Martin DB9 he bought while playing for Orlando Pirates.
The player described the purchase as a mistake adding he was spending too much money on a car.
SARS' Janine Mqulwana says the ten, including Modise, have been fined between R2000 to R20 000 each.
"These ten payers have now submitted their outstanding returns after admission of guilt before the court," says Mqulwana.
Mqulwana adds taxpayers who have been convicted now also have a criminal record.
"It is a criminal offense not to file your tax returns."
Three warrants of arrest have been issued for taxpayers who have failed to appear in court while 24 cases have also been handed over to police.
