Unorthodox + Aubrey Modiba/Kasi Flavour
When you hear the name Aubrey Modiba what’s the first thing that comes to mind …?
If you ask me, His standout moment was the AFL Final in 2023. If you ask Kabelo he’ll probably show his bias towards left footers(For obvious reasons …)
Some will tell you he’s the best left back in the country, some will say he’s better suited as a midfielder than a defender, some will take you back to his days as a winger and a source of creativity for SuperSport United.
Well, that’s Aubrey for you, a gifted and unorthodox footballer with a penchant for elegance.
When Kabelo and myself flirted with the idea of profiling a top South African footballer whom we can style and take them out of their comfort zone , “Zeda” stood out as the perfect canvas.
On the football pitch, Aubrey is a high risk, high reward kind of player. If a chance is presented to him, he won’t hesitate to roll the dice and live with the outcome. And that’s exactly what he showed us with this shoot. With every piece Wanda and Kabelo laid out for him, Aubrey took it as a challenge to step out of his comfort zone and use it as a form of expressing his creativity off the pitch.
Whether it’s under the bright lights of Loftus Versfeld in front of 51 762 people, or in front of 6 people in a quiet suburb in the north of Johannesburg, The postman will deliver … And boy did he do it! In a way only HE can.
So the next time you hear the name Aubrey Modiba, Whatever comes to your mind is neither wrong nor right, because that’s his style on and off the pitch … Unorthodox.
