No muti for Eagles in Thohoyandou
Unlike their cross-town rivals, Royal Eagles didn’t find anything suspicious in their change room when they visited Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila last weekend.

Eagles lost the match 2-1 but their coach, Sazi Ngubane said they had used the facilities at Thohoyandou Stadium without any problems and didn’t find anything wrong with them.
But just three days earlier, Maritzburg United had opted not to use the change room and had to do their team talk in their bus outside the stadium after allegedly finding the room full of smoke and strange stenches.
“The change room was alright. There is nothing for me to complain about there. We didn’t find anything amiss there,” said Ngubane after Saturday’s match.
