Netizens shared mixed reactions to the outfit of former Mamelodi Sundowns star player Teko Modise at the Hollywoodbets Durban July horse racing event held over the weekend.
The theme of this year's event was "Marvels of Mzansi," and Modise donned a Martin John Bespoke suit, its indigo and gold hues channelling Mzansi’s sporting spirit. But very few South Africans online marvelled at his fashion sense, with some throwing shade at the idea behind it.
