Viral Ghanaian witch doctor Nana Kwaku Bonsam is having the last laugh, and the internet has noticed.
Before Ghana faced England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Bonsam publicly claimed he had performed spiritual rituals to suppress Harry Kane, binding the 32-year-old to prevent him from scoring against the Black Stars.

The strategy, by his own account, worked. Kane managed just 19 touches in the goalless draw at the Boston Stadium, the fewest he has recorded in a major tournament match where he played the full 90 minutes.
After the result, Bonsam said he conducted another ritual to lift the 'curse' he had placed on Kane.

He even pledged to name a son after the striker as a gesture of goodwill, making clear there was no lingering ill feeling between them.
Kwaku Bonsam's prophecy on Harry Kane
Before England's group-stage clash with Panama, Bonsam went a step further.
He told LBC that he had visited his shrine to pray for Kane, calling on his gods and ancestors to restore the forward's sharpness in front of goal.
"He's going to perform very good, you mark my words," Bonsam said during the interview.
Those words proved prophetic. Kane scored against Panama and then bagged a brace as England came from behind to beat DR Congo 2-1 in the Round of 32.

He now has five goals at this year's tournament and 13 in total across his World Cup career, surpassing Brazilian legend Pelé's tally.
His remarkable form this season has also seen him reach 72 goals for club and country.
When a clip of Bonsam's prediction on LBC resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter), posted by @speedlinexx on 1 July 2026, it quickly went viral.
