Orlando Pirates Legend Gavin Lane Defends Muti Practice Amid Controversy
Briefly News previously reported that Orlando Pirates legend Gavin Lane has urged the club to continue using muti, defending its place in African football culture.
Lane's comments came after allegations of "dark magic" arose when Pirates players were seen spraying a substance on the pitch before their CAF Champions League match against MC Alger.
Despite the controversy, Lane emphasized that muti, or similar superstitions, is common in African football and should remain a part of the club’s tradition.
The incident has reignited debates about the practice, with critics questioning whether it’s cultural belief, gamesmanship, or a misunderstanding in modern football.
