Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates striker Siphelele Mthembu has weighed in on the polarising issue of muti use in football, urging players to believe in their talents.The 35-year-old Mthembu, who is a devout Christian and has played professional football for almost 15 years, said players must focus on improving their craft with extra sessions and being disciplined rather than believing muti or rituals will help them.
Mthembu, who plays for Pretoria Callies in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, sparked the debate when asked to give advice to up and coming players.“I don’t know if I am being too religious but I will say the young generation coming through must know talent is a pure thing you are given by God.“Stop putting rituals on your talent. It suspends your reasoning, it kills your confidence because you have to depend on rituals and the muti guy,” he said.
