Kwaku Bonsam's Harry Kane Prophecy Resurfaces After England Star's Brace Against DR Congo
- Nana Kwaku Bonsam predicted Harry Kane would perform very well after untying a ritual he claimed to have placed on the English striker
- Kane scored twice against DR Congo in the Round of 32, taking his 2026 World Cup tally to five goals and his overall WC record to 13
- The popular witch doctor's viral interview resurfaced online as many linked his comments to Kane's resurgence for the Three Lions
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, according to Opta.
After the result, Bonsam said he conducted another ritual to lift the 'curse' he had placed on the Three Lions skipper.
He even pledged to name his son after the striker as a gesture of goodwill, suggesting there was no lingering ill feeling between them.

Kwaku Bonsam's prophecy about Harry Kane trends
Before England's group-stage clash with Panama, Bonsam went a step further.
He told LBC on X 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.

According to ESPN, 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.

Why Kane was denied penalty vs DR Congo
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Harry Kane's penalty appeals were turned down during England's 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash with DR Congo.
Referee Adham Makhadmeh ruled the England captain had gone down too easily, while VAR upheld the on-field decision without recommending a formal review.
