SA call on traditional healers to brew some muthi for the semi-final game
This decider game for the national team needs to end in nothing less than a win in order for the team to progress to the finals. Knowing what’s at stake, South Africans even call on traditional healers to brew some muthi to help our boys.
Briefly News spoke to renowned traditional healer Gogo Skhotheni on whether she would be contributing some of her magic to help the boys succeed:

“The only way I can help Bafana Bafana is if they come to my door step for help because they will stand to make money and what will I gain from helping them? For now they are on their own.”
This would not be the first time the national team allegedly sought the help of a sangoma in a tournament.
In 2011, News24 reported that a sangoma claimed the South African Football Association (SAFA) owed him R90 000 for providing the "magic" to beat France in the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
S'bonelo Madela said Bafana Bafana would not win any matches until he got his money. SAFA vice-president Mwelo Nonkonyane confirmed it had used Madela's services but said he had already been paid.
Briefly News also spoke to another traditional healer Mkhulu Danny Mdluli, and he invited the national squad to contact him:
“Yoh! Ku tricky! Hahahaha let Bafana slide in the DMs! I am no magician to be doing thing ngathi ngiyaloya.”
Whether it’s muthi, positive energy, thoughts and prayers, we all root for Bafana Bafana and know they will make our nation proud.
Go, Bafana Bafana, go!
