Even though the intense Soweto derby has passed, Kaizer Chiefs’ young star Mfundo Vilakazi keeps capturing fans’ attention—but this time, it’s not for his on-field skills.

Recently, Mfundo shared a funny video on TikTok where he pretended to be performing some sort of ritual, and it’s quickly gone viral.

A Playful Ritual Before the Big Nedbank Cup Clash

The timing of the video made it even more interesting since it came just before the Nedbank Cup final against fierce rivals Orlando Pirates.

Wrapped in a Kaizer Chiefs towel draped over his shoulders, Mfundo wielded a broom like a wizard’s wand, delivering his lines with a mix of humor and flair.

The clip quickly racked up over a million views in less than a month, showing how much fans loved it.

Fans Speculate It’s a Message for Orlando Pirates’ Relebohile Mofokeng

What really stirred the pot was some fans’ theory that Mfundo’s playful ritual might be aimed at Pirates’ rising star Relebohile Mofokeng.

The reactions online ranged from lighthearted jokes to outright fan banter.

One user, @moh777, commented, “Why do I feel like this is directed to Mofokeng?” while @Nkosazana Yama Lwandle shared a cute message, “Mfundo, my son would love to meet you and Relebohile Mofokeng because he looks up to you guys.”

Meanwhile, @Tebogo joked about the ritual’s purpose, saying, “Performing ritual so Mofokeng doesn’t score against Chiefs.”

Is There More to These Rituals Than Meets the Eye?

The whole situation got many people wondering—do football players actually perform rituals like these?

Whether it’s superstition, tradition, or just fun, players around the world sometimes get creative with how they prepare mentally for big games.

Mfundo’s video might just be a funny way to loosen up the tension before a major match.
