Banyana Banyana's all-time leading goalscorer shared a short video on her X account, asking followers to help her locate the car. She also shared the car's registration number.
“It's a blue Polo Gold 5, KX15GP GP. If you see it, [to] Please call or contact us.”

Modise: “Thankful for life”
Modise said she couldn't sleep on Saturday night after the incident. “I am pleading with you all for help. I was so upset thinking about these people I couldn't sleep,” she said.
But despite being the victim of a hijacking, the former footballer expressed gratitude that he was not the victim of a robbery.
“I'm not really OK, but I'm thankful for life that I was hijacked at gunpoint and nothing was done,” Modise said.

Ambassador Fights South Africa's Drug Problem
Modise was recently announced as an ambassador for Cliniques Health Group's substance abuse disorder and addiction campaign, alongside Olympic medallist Luvo Manyonga and Bafana Bafana striker Bernard Parker.
The campaign aims to raise education and awareness about drug abuse and addiction and was launched last month at Solomon Stix Molewa Memorial Hospital in south Johannesburg.
Manyonga has battled drug addiction for more than a decade and was banned for four years by World Athletics in 2021 for doping offences, while Parker (Reiger Park) and Modise (Soweto) grew up in areas where they saw themselves ostracized for their drug use.
“Our country has a huge drug problem that cuts across all races, classes and age groups. Statistics reveal shocking facts that one in four pre-teens has tried a psychoactive substance and a third of South Africans aged 15 and over are drinkers, with around 60 per cent of them drinking excessively,” said Clinics' chief marketing officer, Matchepo Majola.
Clinix Health Group will also host community engagement activities in collaboration with community-based organizations, schools and other stakeholders throughout the campaign.
