According to the SoccerEast, Kenyan international claimed his former employer – second tier South African side Jomo Cosmos – demanded that he and his teammates “visit” a witch doctor on the night of April 29, 2016. This ritual, according to Kimani, was to be conducted “deep in a forest” with the team reportedly heading to this “venue” aboard the team’s official bus. Cases of the use of witchcraft in African football are increasingly common, with a number of clubs in the Kenyan Premier League and its Tanzanian equivalent also reportedly engaging in the practice.
