It's Muti Monday, and every Monday we get in touch with a former player where they share a memorable muti story from their playing days.
In this edition of My Muti Story, KickOff speaks to former Moroka Swallows dribbling wizard Samuel "See" Ngobeni.
Who and where?
"We were camping in Robertsham Hotel, around 12 a.m. they woke us up and we were told to strip naked so we could take a bathe.
"There was a bath, and once inside the bath you were told to say your wishes.
"Others were asking for beautiful goals, while others wanted to be voted man of the match.
"It was now my turn (laughs), and I said, my wish is to dribble one of the Cosmos guys until he falls down and hit the ground with his head.
"We were playing Jomo Cosmos by the way, and you know how strong the Cosmos muti was (laughs). Remember Cosmos had Hilton Jordaan and Andrew Rabutla at the back, and I did give make them eat grass on that day. "
"Cosmos they brought with litres of milk and they sprinkle it all over floor. But our muti at Moroka Swallows was stronger than Cosmos's I must say."
Why were you doing it?
"No explanation was given, and another thing we were already used to this muti thing. It was part of our lives."
Who was the muti man?
"Some old man from Zimbabwe. He didn't talk much. The only thing he kept repeating is, once you are inside the bath, say only positive things about our team!"
What did you have to do?
"After bathing in that muti you were instructed to go straight to bed and sleep. You were not allowed to shower.
Did everyone take part?
"Yes, including our goalkeeper Idah Peterside who was a pastor even back then. He tried to to be stubborn but was told in his face we are not here to play games. It was compulsory.
"You wouldn't dare question the orders of the late Swallows chairman David "Pine" Chabeli."
What stood out?
"That muti is actually a mind game. It only works for those who believe in it."
What was the result?
"I don't remember very well but we did beat Cosmos on penalties. It was in the BobSave Super Bowl.
"That day we all believed in the Zimbabwean's muti and it worked."
