Napsa Stars FC coach Perry Mutapa has addressed the “juju” allegations that have been levelled against the Zambian Super League’s third-placed side, FC MUZA.
MUZA has been accused of casting a magical spell in their locker rooms to influence match results.
Two weeks ago, league leaders Powers Dynomos, shunned the locker rooms at Nakambala stadium, the home of MUZA, due to fears that magical charms had been implanted in them.
The match, however, went on to end 0-0, which saw MUZA solidify its place in the top four of the league standings.

The Mazabuka-based club, which was promoted from the National Division One last season, has been a thorn in the flesh of most Super League clubs this season, going unbeaten at home in their last five games.
They are sitting third on the table with 36 points after 22 matches and will host Napsa stars on Saturday.
MUTAPA IS NOT SCARED OF THE ALLEGED JUJU AT FC MUZA
Addressing journalists this afternoon, Mutapa said his team is focused on playing the game and not listening to what people are saying with regard to the “juju” allegations.
He added that his team will use the locker rooms if they are in good shape.
“My concentration is on my team,” he said. “For us, we are going there to play football, if the locker rooms are okay, we are going to use them. There is nothing like the players will refuse.”
When asked if he and his players are psychologically disturbed by the allegations that MUZA are using charms to win matches at their home ground, Mutapa said he doesn’t care and he is not scared.
“We are going there for the game. I don’t think something like that is happening and I don’t care about that.”
Napsa who were unbeaten last month will look to bounce back to winning ways tomorrow against MUZA after losing 0-1 to Power Dynamos last weekend.
