Witchcraft bedevils talent in East Africa
ReplyDelete"Yarabi," he shouts loudly, as a group of young men at one end of the room watch attentively
Mzee Shaha and his partner Mzee Shariff Omar, both born in the Zanzibari island of Tumbatu, have been in the forefront of a booming business now spreading across east and central Africa.
Two of their countrymen have reportedly been on the payrolls of Yanga and Simba, two top Tanzanian club sides involved in a bizarre ritual incident in September 2004.
Before a league decider, Simba players had been sent to sprinkle a strange powder and broke eggs around the goal area while Yanga, counteracted by sending two of its players to urinate on the field.
The Football Association of Tanzania (FAT) fined both clubs 500 dollars each for what it termed "unacceptable" conduct involving the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
In the past, witchcraft took the form of sacrifice of animals such as goats, cows and even snakes whose blood would be sprinkled around the stadium, or the planting of magic wands and the burial of dead human body parts -- often obtained from mortuaries -- in the stadium.
But in recent years voodooists have moved with the times.
"You don't have to be there in person," said Juma Mohammed Mwanachuwoni, a well-known Kenyan witch doctor working for some of the top coast provincial league clubs.
"We do it by remote control. You write the names of the star players on a tree trunk, cover them up with a black cloth as to blindfold them, and on the match day they will not be seeing the ball," said Mwanachuwoni.
"You can also use the charms to confuse the referee to favour your team."
"Teams cannot play without witchcraft," he bragged. "Winning is ultimate -- as I speak, three secondary schools have come to see me asking for 'assistance' to win the provincial championships title."
But he said some club officials become "too greedy" and forget to pay for services rendered by witch doctors.
They usually will have themselves to blame because "the same spell turns against them, and they will not succeed," claimed Mwanachuwoni.
Kenyan football officials have not spoken out publicly on the witchcraft allegations.
But privately, local football officials say the spells of "jujumen", as the witch doctors are called, tend to target good players, scaring some off or making them so disgruntled they leave.
