The superstition of blacks in SA is well known. They believe in Muti bringing good luck, wealth or a loving partner. They believe in putting their beds on bricks to prevent the Tokoloshe of getting to them. One can write books on the subject of black superstition.
The darker side of this superstition is that ignorance can get you killed. People suffering from epileptic fits or asthma attacks are often accused of having evil spirits in them and burned alive. A demented old woman who who forgets to put her clothes on and appears naked on the street can be accused of being a witch and burned to death.
Here is an article of six blacks (four men and two women) who were arrested for killing a woman they believed bewitched her sister-in-law.
Catherina Nkovani (52) was assaulted with various objects and burned to death by her relatives. They were charged with murder.
Now, how do you judge such people? In their minds they have done nothing wrong. In fact in their minds they have done the community and the world a favour to get rid of this “witch”.
Now we come with our Roman-Dutch law system and tell them they are wrong and have been wrong doing this for thousands of years.
This just shows that you cannot have these different cultures in South Africa equal under the same law. The only thing to do is to separate them and each group governs itself according to their own respective laws.
This most logical, practical and fairest solution was called Apartheid. The UN declared it a “Crime against Humanity”. Go figure.
Further to the article…Look how News24’s psyops division AGAIN posted the hands of a white person next to the article even though the incident took place in a black township and all the names of the people involved are black names.
