Banyana Banyana legend Portia Modise claims that the SA Football Association bosses forced her to retire from international football.When Modise called time on a 15-year career back in 2015, SAFA president Danny Jordaan told the media that"her new role will be to guide other players."

“They [SAFA] used me, singing that national anthem, scoring those goals for 15 years,” said Modise during Ria Ledwaba’s presidential manifesto launch earlier this week in Johannesburg. “I was getting R400 [per day for being called up to Banyana camp], and I got R3500 per day, playing for the national team. I was suppressed,” added Modise, who made 124 appearances for Banyana, scoring 101 goals, including a cracker at the 2012 London Olympics.

The Soweto born former attacker also implied that her only crime was being vocal about the issues women in football face with SAFA turning a blind eye.
