Former Dynamos captain Memory Mucherahowa has critisised the Harare giants’ team manager Richard Chihoro for his ‘anti-juju ritual’ against Premiership returnees Hwange at Babourfields Stadium over the weekend.

Mucherahowa reckons Chihoro’s antics are not expected of a club official, let alone the team manager.

“The team manager cannot be doing that, especially in the eyes of football fans. What picture does it paint? By the way, are these people - the Dynamos technical team - traditional healers or sangomas?

“How did they know that there was ‘juju’ in the Hwange goal? Who did they consult to come to the conclusion that there was ‘juju’ on that towel? Did they consult a prophet? It doesn’t make any sense at all,” said Mucherahowa.

Mucherahowa said if Dynamos was very sure that the towel contained black magic, one of the players was just supposed to kick the towel away, not for a club official to be pictured performing what they are calling anti-juju ritual.

It is alleged that during half time, Chihoro performed an anti-juju ritual by sprinkling some unknown substance at the Mpilo End goalpost to ‘unlock the nets.’

This comes after Dynamos had failed to score in the first half, despite producing a lot of chances.

Later, a towel belonging to Nedrick Madeya, the Hwange goalkeeper, which he kept behind his goal and was believed to have contained black magic, was grabbed by a DeMbare fan who burnt it to ashes.

Dynamos went on to win the game 1-0 courtesy of substitute Tinashe Makanda’s solitary second half strike, but it was Chihoro’s ‘anti-juju’ practise which marred the Glamour Boys’ brilliant start to the season.
