Speaking to Kick Off in the magazine's popular "My Muthi Story" column, the ex-Kaizer Chiefs player said:

"I'm sure by now you know how big is muti at Jomo Cosmos. That's where it started for some of us, so Cosmos will always be our home. Bra J was on another level when it came to those muti things.

There was a game we were playing at home, a home game. I just can't remember what game was it. The match officials were supposed to come inside and check our cards, but you know how smart Bra J is.
"All of a sudden he decided to start a fire inside the changeroom and there was a lot of smoke, we couldn't even see one another. Because of the smoke, the officials refused to go inside and suggested checking the card outside the changeroom instead.
"They thought it was some strong muti when in fact it was just some papers. He was playing mind games, we won 1-0. I just can't remember who we were playing that day. I must admit though there were occasions where we did the muti stuff, even though we didn't use a single muti man at the club.
"Bra J, he would change people, mostly he would use foreigners from Africa, he would introduce a new guy almost every game."
