Malulwane Column Of soccer rituals.

Elections come and go, weather patterns also come and go, so as Mjolo, it also comes and
goes. Hola my Cdes in gossip, a lot of things have been happening this season, some funny,
some shocking and some things even disturbing, but they have been coming and going as
well.
The soccer season is with us where we see some life threatening headlines such as Izabona
intuthu I-Dembare ngesonto ,indeed if yours truly was a Dembare fan this headline was
going to send some chills to my spine. No wonder rituals are done in football because of
such threats .
When it comes to football, Malulwane the Bat has been watching from the terraces for a long
time. One day I was watching Division 1 league at the Nengasha stadium in Empumalanga,
and I was amazed by the level of rituals that soccer lovers do, just for the love of the game.
There are traditional fans who will do to win. When yours truly was busy enjoying the game,
a bottle of empty Pepsi was given to me to do the ritual. I didn’t know what to do with the
bottle. Then I was told to urinate in the bottle to chase evil spirits which were making the
team lose.
It was unbelievable, I quickly passed the empty bottle to the next fan and he quickly
unzipped and went behind a tree and offloaded into the empty bottle.
Rumorville has it that urine is the best spell cleanser when it comes to football. I wonder if
my favorite Arsenal fans also use Wee to cleanse the loosing spirit.
Rumor has it a certain Hwange football team had to take its boys to Zambezi River for
cleansing in the middle of the night, but my worry is this team keeps losing despite the
cleansing. They probably need to upgrade the cleansing strategy to Cleansing 1.0. Ciao my
fellas let me go to my terraces and watch the next game, chat next week.
