Uproar as Tembisa Soccer Pitch Invaded by Unhappy Shack Dwellers

• There has been an unfortunate development in the township of Tembisa involving its residents
• Shack-dwellers in the township north-east of Johannesburg have decided to settle on a football pitch
• There are allegations of broken promises and double-dealing, which has led to the field becoming a squatter camp

An unfortunate turn of events has affected the township of Tembisa, northeast of Johannesburg.

Shack-dwellers have decided to set up a squatter camp on one of the few soccer fields in the area.

According to Scrolla, the residents have invaded the pitch because it was initially demarcated for future development that never came to fruition.

Tshepo Chidi, a leader within the community, told the publication:

“This is not an illegal occupation. This is about people who don’t have a place to stay who have been on the government RDP waiting list since 1994. We are here because we have been authorised to occupy the land. This was an open government place that we have secured legally.

“One man had poles, the other one had a net and a third person was painting the lines. They were all being paid for what they brought to the open space. This is the second court interdict the court has given us. It prohibits anyone from taking action to illegally and forcefully remove us.”

Liverpool great Bruce Grobbelaar alleges that witchdoctor placed a curse on the club

What do Liverpool, Bruce Grobbelaar, a witch-doctor and Zambezi Lager have in common?

These four subjects form part of a bizarre story which holds that the great English club was the victim of a curse. According to Sports Illustrated, the legendary Zimbabwean goalkeeper became a brand ambassador for the beverage company. The latter sent out the witch-doctor to his testimonial game back in 1992 to present Grobbelaar with a bottle of Zambezi lager. However, it is alleged that the man also left more than just the gift at Anfield.

Whether the curse was real or imagined, Liverpool would not sniff the league title until Jurgen Klopp helped 'break the curse' during the wretched year that was 2020.
