SANGOMA Offers To Help Bafana Win 2013 Afcon
A herbalist from the Eastern Cape, Reuben Matewu, says he can help Bafana Bafana win matches at the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
South Africa settled for a goalless draw in their Afcon opener against Cape Verde Islands at the National Stadium on Saturday, compounding concerns about their ability to find the back of the net.
“I can help Bafana Bafana for free if they want and I’ll do that for the first three matches,” Matewu told trufm, a regional SABC radio station, on Sunday.
“Thereafter I will charge them as they would have started winning.
“I’m not like those people who use bad muti. I will only use herbs, which are easily available here in South Africa.”
While he would start charging for his services after a few matches, Matewu insisted he was not after the money.
Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana, the vice-president of the SA Football Association (Safa) and chairman of the Afcon local organising committee, said Matewu’s offer might be considered.
“We always welcome whatever help we can get to ensure Bafana Bafana do well,” Nonkonyana said.
“Let the man speak to me and see what we can do after that.”
Sibonelo Madela, a traditional healer from Ulundi in KwaZulu-Natal, had threatened to prevent Bafana from winning matches.
This was after he claimed he was owed R90,000 by Safa for assisting the team during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Madela claimed that Bafana used his muti before their 2-1 victory over France during the group stages of the global showpiece. Despite the win, they were
knocked out in the first round of the competition.
Safa spokesman Dominic Chimhavi reportedly said at the time that Nonkonyana had given Madela R10 000 out of “his own goodwill”, but no deal had been made between the inyanga and the national football body. – Sapa

Primitivity at its best. It’s also rumoured that DR Congo is also doing the same. Let’s wait and see which god (in a primitive way) will deliver.

Nakalya tafibomba! I believe even God does not support any team because he loves everyone equaly.for arguement’s sake is there anyone who believes that those prayer teams offer before the start of these games work in favour of them?

Only Jehovah`s Witnesses can answer like that concerning prayers in football.Your doctrine is inconsistent,today you will say do not celebrate birthdays and tomorrow you say,celebrate but do not toast and alot more dear.So shut up and say nothing concerning prayers

@Ba Medza, nimwe mwalandapo fye ifya mano epo Afcon 2013 yatampila. The Bible says God does’t take side. Fi juju nafyo fya kwa devil, tafibomba. Kukosa fye na strategy efiwinisha.

It won’t work! Remember last Africa cup during the final penaltys when the goal keeper for Ivory Coast layed a white towel right in the goal post, i think that was juju and it didn’t work! We serve a living God not a ‘god’!

What a shame to hear that even the officials are considering such a foolish offer. What happened in 2010 world cup? They used juju and so They should have gone all the way to the finals with Spain

Why consulting a witchdoctor? So its UMUTI that helps some of us when playing not the talent given by God? I can’t believe it that its RSA that is doing that. Hey guys be fair in your MUTI using tactics otherwise you are already caught!

FAZ should contact me if they want to retain the Africa cup, I helped them list the 2012 Africa cup. I will help them with double tobela only if they promise that each player will pay me $90,000 unrebased.

@I.C.U. I agree with u in Sangoma we cry really. If we believe no good comes from devil it means anything u get from him u r sooner or later paying back; and through your nose!
Next @ Ba medza: my dear i see nothing in scripture that suggests God goes to issues of sports and competitions. But i am slightly inclined to think He can certainly use those prayers to show some people their error- for example by ensuring that a very trusted charm fails. That sends the person into a lot of thinking and can lead out of their erroneous belief. That agrees with scripture where the men of Baal did all they could and no fire came then Elijah won the ‘game’ and people got to know who was the real God. But think of 2 teams believing in God and they both pray equally! Who should carry the day? Thats y i think generally competitions may not be the concern of God, if it is just a game, then let the better team win, finish, just pray against injuries. My thoughts!

darkness and light. Darkness is evil and satanism. Light is good and beautiful and that is God. God is the creator of everything including the same matewu person, therefore, God is above everything and chipolopolo believes in our Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, Amen.
