May 1959 - Kick The Jujuman Out Of Sport - A sheep

May 1959 - Kick The Jujuman Out Of Sport - A sheep is slaughtered by a Jujuman. It's supposed to bring luck on the sportsfield. In the past, on the night before a match, many football players used to spend the night in the open at cemeteries. Some of them are still burying sheep alive because the jujuman says that will bring victory. A first-class team did it recently before a big match. Fortunately for them, they had also kept up their training, so they didn't have to rely on the sheep to get goals for them. The practices are making many sports-men lazy and training-shy. What is more, they are driving intelligent and potentially good players away from the sportsfield. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
