Limpopo Club Fined for Attempted Muthi Use as Well as Threatening Referee

• Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila never ceases to amaze when it comes to nonsensical headlines
• The Motsepe Foundation Championship club has run afoul of the Premier Soccer League
• It's team manager was hauled over the coals for making threats with supernatural repercussions

Mukomafhedzi Lavhaselani was found guilty of a rather unusual offence.

The Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila was punished with a hefty fine and and three-match suspension for his behaviour in a controversial Motsepe Foundation Championship derby match against Venda Football Academy last month.

Sunday World reported that he threatened referee Xolela Sitole and assistants Athuxolo Madela and Tumi Mohlala with bewitchment. This involved taking the soil they were standing on to start with the curse.

“I can confirm that the disciplinary committee of the league adjudicated over a hearing in which Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila Football Club and (their team manager) Mukomafhedzi Lavhaselani, respectively, as the first and second respondents appeared to answer to three counts of misconduct.

“In a match between themselves and Venda Football Academy, the second respondent, Mr Lavhaselani, verbally abused the match officials and used unpalatable language towards them. He further threatened them with violence and also threatened to bewitch the affected match official."

TTM will have to part with R50 000 for the transgressions, while Lavhaselani will be a painful R40 000 poorer.

'I derailed Rakhale's career'

Traditional healer, Gogo Maweni has made sensational claims regarding a famous footballer.

Maweni stated that she 'bewitched' former Orlando Pirates midfielder, Thabo Rakhale, which supposedly resulted in his career going off the rails. According to Kaya FM, she revealed all of this on the popular Point Of View With Gigi - a podcast by Gigi Lamayne.

Maweni, whose real name is Lee-Ann Makopo, alleged that Rakhale spurned her because she was a sangoma, which led to her getting even with him through the use of muthi.

Nelukau facing firearms charges

Lucky Nelukau is in much, much bigger trouble than previously imagined.

The flamboyant Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM) coach was arrested over the weekend for allegedly pointing a gun at and assaulting an individual believed to be a player at the club - Bono 'Lovers' Mudau.

The Daily Sun has revealed the ugly details as released to the public by Vhuwani police in Limpopo, where 'King Munchinchwa' appeared on Monday at the Magistrates Court. He is facing charges of pointing a firearm, kidnapping and assault.
