Locango Ndoki (the sorcerer) worships his witchcraft statue before a match of a five days wrestling tournament opposing Wrestlers from RDC and the Republic of Congo at the Mbonge stadium, Brazzavile, Republic of Congo, Sunday, Nov.4, 2006. The main specificity of wrestling in Republic of Congo and in RDC is the use of fetish wrestling (voudou like), which mix magic traditions, believes and objects and sport discipline.
