Defending Kenyan Premier League Champions Gor Mahia saw a mass exodus of players at the beginning of the season among them the Ugandan duo of Dan Sserunkuma, who signed for Simba FC and Geoffrey Kizito who plays in Vietnam.

Since Sserunkuma joined Simba FC, luck has not been on his side as he has been struggling to score compared to when he was at Gor Mahia.

A local blogger stormed the internet with news that Ssserunkuma was not happy at his new club and that he was being forced to undergo rituals by the club officials so as to enable him improve his performance.

But the Ugandan player refuted the claims.

4. I have never been pushed into using witchcraft by officials as I do not believe in them.

African football has often been associated with black magic or witchcraft, though proof is always hard to find.
