Is controversial celebrity sangoma and reality TV star Gogo Maweni to blame after Orlando Pirates were held to a 1-1 draw by Chippa United or were the Buccaneers supposed to add a clause when they loaned Goodman Mosele to the Chilli Boys?
That was the debate amongst football fans on social media after a video of a Bucs official applying an unidentifiable substance on the goalposts at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Tuesday, 15 August.

Pirates were denied their second league win of the season after their on-loan player, Mosele, found the back of the net in the second half of the game for Chippa United.
Mosele’s goal cancelled out Bandile Shandu’s first-half goal for the Soweto giants, resulting in the clubs sharing the spoils.

IS THAT MUTHI?
While Pirates’ draw was a talking point, what caused a frenzy on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, was a clip of a man sporting grey Adidas regilia applying a blackish substance on the goalposts.
The footage shows the Pirates players walking towards goal to somewhat remove the attention from their official as he goes to work.
When he is done, he moves over to the right corner of the pitch and applies more substance on the ground before pouring a liquid.
