“ You say we won thanks to black magic! Don’t disrespect us! “, said the Jwaneng Galaxy coach, livid and annoyed. “ Ah! You are unfair and now you want to harm me“, Ramoreboli said again.
The latter did not stop there, indicating to the press officer that a journalist could not speak to him in this way before leaving the press room.
The journalist spoke of a strange gathering of Botswana players who were seen pouring a clear liquid, similar to water, next to the corner post during the pre-match.

“ You’re being unfair, I already said they were warming up. They were doing warm-ups before the match“, coach Ramoreboli further justified himself, annoyed by the journalist’s insistence.
