The Warriors have accused the hosts of turning to the dark arts to influence the outcome of the tournament opener
Zimbabwe coach Zdravko Logarusic has accused hosts Cameroon of ‘witchcraft’ ahead of their African Nations Championship opener in Yaounde on Saturday, which the Indomitable Lions won 1-0.
A photograph was shared with Goal ahead of the match which depicted the Croat coach displaying the carcass of a bat, accompanied by a sign which reads ‘witchcraft in Cameroon’ ahead of the two sides’ Chan bow.
The fixture, taking place at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde, was played in front of a quarter-full stadium after the Confederation of African Football allowed some fans to access the fixtures during the biennial competition.
That’s only propa...
Are you sure it wasn’t dinner from one of your players, coach? 😀
She turned me inti a newt
This is grossly unfair. What did macaroons ever do to anyone that wasn’t allergic to coconuts? And if you were, it was your own fault dammit for eating them!
Hattie Campbell and her contemporaries taught me many things. I eventually learned that shards of glass on a grave show the mirror image of this life as contrasted to the next. I know that household objects are for the soul's use in the afterlife. I discovered that a split beef tongue is part of a spell to silence a witness or a gossip. I was taught that goofer dust (a combination of graveyard dirt, sulphur powder, snake skin and herbs) will jinx an enemy. And I came to understand that 7-11 Holy Oil will bring blessings and luck while The Fiery Wall of Protection is a safeguard against the most unspeakable horror.
Your friend thought your son's Tonka dirt was goofer/goopher dust.
Has her family lived in SC for generations?
No, actually she was an Australian who believed some rather odd things.
She was married to a black fella whose family have lived in the low country since slavery.
She would run up crazy phone bills talking to psychics, I never could understand that. (then she would want to use our phone)
She was also friends with some others in the neighborhood who had once lived on Oyotunji, had taken African names, scarred their faces and I think she dabbled in this stuff with them.
It was just funny to me, I knew where the dirt came from but hooboy, either she thought she could convince me or she really believed all that.
It’s just one of those moments in life that stays with you- vividly...it still gives me fits of giggles.
