Melis Medo has sensationally claimed the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) is full of black magic (juju) and wants the vice to be stopped urgently.
In an exclusive chat with Goal and without giving examples, the American-born tactician, who last handled Wazito FC in the top-flight this season, said he has experienced teams apply it in the local league on many occasions and feels “the nonsense should be stopped.”
The use of juju, voodoo or witchcraft is not a new practice in African football as teams allegedly use it to win matches. Teams go to the extent of using charms, amulets, and even animals buried in the vicinity of stadiums in order to bring supposed success on the pitch.
