About the Book
Eight-year-old Teko Modise didn�t mean to compare with his father, it was just that he was a soccer natural and everyone could see it. His father, in a fit of childlike jealousy, kicks him out of the house and so little Teko has to make a plan � attending school as normal during the day and sleeping out on the streets with other homeless children at night. This book is the true story of his rise to fame, to becoming �the General�, one of the best footballers South Africa has produced, and will allow readers to understand the story behind �the Curse�.
