PSL General Manager Derek Blanckensee says the League will consider setting a rule to ban the use of muti in local football. 

TV images have recently shown teams in the PSL pouring a substance on the field which is thought to be muti. 

Some of the teams include Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Jomo Cosmos. Santos goalkeeper Tshepo Motsoeneng was also shown on TV pouring a substance between the goal posts in a Cup game against Pirates last season.

Blanckensee says at the moment there is no rule that prevents teams using muti.

“There is no guidelines or rule that bans the use of muti in local football and its difficult to take any action against any team found guilty of using muti,” says Blanckensee.

He adds:”I think maybe it is something that we must start to look at because some of the stuff could pose a threat or danger to the turf or the surface.”

It is open secret that local teams use muti including Bafana Bafana after a Sangoma from KwaZulu-Natal claimed he was still owed money for muti that helped the squad during the 2010 World Cup.
