The shaman who was paid $12,000 to keep away rains at the U-20 World Cup Soccer was also paid to secure a sunny inauguration of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in 2010.
Jorge Elias Gonzalez, the shaman who apparently knows how to control the sky was hired by the President’s Office to make sure that Santos wasn’t going to get drenched while being sworn in as President of the Republic.
While initially hesitant to take part in the ceremony — because “who can trust politicians” to pay up — Gonzalez successfully took up the challenge to secure a dry and even sunny Plaza de Bolivar, reported the website.
Gonzalez was proven wrong regarding his lack of trust in the financial credibility of Colombian politicians and was paid $1,500 exactly as agreed.
