Ghanaian Witchdoctor Says He Will Hex Harry Kane Before England Match

Translated & summarized from N12 by baba
The story · English

A Ghanaian witchdoctor, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, said he plans to place a curse on England striker Harry Kane before England face Ghana on Tuesday night. England need a win to secure qualification for the next round, and Bonsam claimed he wants to stop Kane from scoring and help Ghana win.

Bonsam said, "I am working hard on Harry Kane lately. I have already proved in the past exactly what I am capable of, so my abilities should not be underestimated. I know exactly what I need to do to stop him, prevent him from scoring and make us win."

He added that he is not trying to cause Kane a serious injury. "I am not trying to cause him a serious injury, God forbid. I do not wish that on him. All I want is to stop him from playing well against my country. That is my job and I will do it," he said.

The article notes that Kane is in exceptional form. The England forward scored 36 league goals this season in the Bundesliga, and he carried that scoring touch into the opening round, when he netted a brace against Croatia. The piece says it remains to be seen whether Kane will be stopped in the crucial match against Ghana.
