In case you are wondering what black magic is, it is actually some spiritual forces that some players believe will help them succeed in their football career and to be the most sought after players in competitive leagues. Although I know this might seem strange to some of us, probably because we are hearing it for the first time. Don't be surprised, it's real. Just as some people believe in the Christian God who gives them wealth, some actually believe in the God of Islam who brings them luck, and so on. Things like this are very common with African footballers and perhaps some South American footballers. They seem to believe that to stay afloat in their football career they must be pacified and make some sacrifices to please the god of success and make them prevail in their football career.

I would like to shed more light on this topic by reporting something bizarre that happened in a Rwandan Premier League. In a heated match between two Kwanda Premier League teams, something bizarre happened that left both spectators and referees perplexed. A clip showing a match between Mukura and Rayon Sports when Rayon, the visiting team, was losing 1-0 to Mukura and any attempt to score seemed impossible. The Rayon striker can be seen rushing towards the goal post to remove an object hidden in the opponent's post. For him, he felt that some spiritual forces must have prevented them from scoring in the match. This caused a sideshow in the match and you can see goalkeeper Mukura and other players chasing the Rayon attacker. Just three minutes after this sideshow, the Rayon striker scored a goal and this caused a lot of post-match controversy. Rwandan football's governing body has decided to fine any player seen taking part in the black magic with a fine of 100,000 Rwandan francs equivalent. to $160. In a situation where the club was involved, it will lose three points and face a fine of 2.9 million RWF equivalent to $4500. For me, I don't think there is any place where it has been scientifically proven that black magic can influence the performance of a match or a player because I believe that discipline, hard work and training determine the height a player will reach. If black magic really works in football, instead of Ronald and Messi being the best in the world, it should be the African players. If it really works, Senegal, Mali and similar countries should win the World Cup every four years.
