Zimbabwe\u2019s Premier Soccer League (PSL) has banned Dynamos Team Manager Richard Chihoro for allegedly sprinkling juju in the stadium before the team\u2019s match.<\/p>\n
Chihoro startled spectators when he stormed the stadium at Barbourfields Stadium on 18 March in Bulawayo before Dynamos played Hwange FC.<\/p>\n In a video that went viral earlier this week, Chihoro was seen on the pitch holding a bottle with an unknown water-like liquid at the goalpost.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfazed by the spectators anxiously waiting for kickoff, the Dynamos team manager then started sprinkling the liquid on the goal line from one post to the next. When the liquid was finished, he threw the bottle out of the pitch and took some unidentified substance from his pocked, which he began scattering again on the goal line.<\/p>\n Some fans in the stadium stared in amusement at this nonchalant display of superstition and voodoo. Football fans on the internet were shocked, grumbling that it is acts like these which affect the image of Zimbabwean football.<\/p>\n The Castle Lager Premier Soccer league (PSL) took note of the incident and have since banned the Dynamos Team manager and he will be appearing before its disciplinary committee to explain himself.
