Modipe has been cited/quoted in multiple Botswana media sources since 2016, including references the "nephew of the legendary Modipe" (paraphrase), and probably appears at times before web searching is possible due to the time at which he played for Botswana. So notability isn't impossible here, the internet's just not the most helpful for this one. SportingFlyer T·C 16:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
