Before the Chippa United game, fans claimed the Orlando Pirates used “witchcraft.”
Several teams have faced accusations of attempting to get an advantage during matches, and some athletes have even acknowledged using doping on occasion.
After fan footage began making the rounds on social media, the Orlando Pirates are the most recent team to be in the center of accusations of using witchcraft before a game.
One of the Pirates squad members can be seen approaching the goalposts and then applying something to them in the footage, which was taken by someone in the stands. As players and other staff congregate around the goal area, he then moves to the other post and performs the same action there.
