Former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs has dismissed suggestions that he possesses supernatural powers capable of predicting football results, making it clear that his confidence in discussing matches should not be confused with being a traditional healer.

Josephs, who enjoyed a lengthy career in South African football, remains a familiar voice in discussions surrounding the domestic game. His experience as a former professional footballer gives him an understanding of the pressures, expectations and unpredictable nature of competitive matches.

The former goalkeeper's comments came in response to a question about his ability to predict football outcomes. While he appeared confident about his assessment, Josephs clarified that he does not claim to know exact scores or possess the abilities associated with a Sangoma.

His response also suggested that he was more interested in backing a winning outcome than attempting to predict the precise number of goals a team would score.

“No, I don't have a score. I'm not a Sangoma. But I have a win...."

The statement has added a humorous element to the conversation, particularly because football predictions often attract attention from supporters who enjoy debating possible results before major fixtures.

In South Africa, discussions about match predictions are common, especially when traditional rivals meet or when important league matches are approaching. Supporters frequently look for opinions from former players, coaches and football analysts who have experienced the game at the highest level.

Josephs' response reflects the distinction between predicting a winner and claiming certainty about an exact scoreline. Even experienced football personalities cannot guarantee how a match will unfold, given the unpredictable nature of the sport.

His remarks also demonstrate his willingness to engage in football conversations without presenting his predictions as guaranteed outcomes.
