  1. This could be just a tip of an iceberg of what goes on unnoticed with some of these so-called Traditional healers. They are proper Scumbags.

    • Traditional bogus healers tells the women are being cleansed by r a p i n g them.
      IN ANOTHER CASE
      “…..when she arrived at the house on Wednesday morning, the traditional healer allegedly asked her to undress and inserted “herbal medicine” into her “twenokane”.

      According to the woman’s statement, the man then insisted that she have s e x with him in order to complete the ritual. She refused.

      The woman said he then allegedly r a p e d her and told her to leave. She left and contacted the police immediately.”
      Many so-called are using false pretences to steal money from people, and in cases like this, r a p e them.

      “A person can become a victim twice in cases like this, by taking your money and violating you at the same time. Sums of money are taken for nothing in return,”

    “…..when she arrived at the house on Wednesday morning, the traditional healer allegedly asked her to strip naked and inserted “herbal medicine” into her private parts.

  4. Both the poor and rich are victims of these fake healers. The poor will work hard to look for money to grace the healers in exchange for instant success in life rather than put the money into good investment, whereas the rich will splash their cash to get control over their rivals in business-all these being false belief that people have been dragged into.

    On the flip side, are the conmen with broad smiles as they have ripped easy money where they did not sow? Cases of arrests of these fake conmen have been reported in South Africa and most of these Ugandans are being deported.

    It is high time people came out of this darkness of superstitions. There are no elevators in success; one has to take the stairs! If you need a good job, get its qualifications. Dismissals at different places…

  5. Someone lost his pension money to bogus traditional healers who had promised to make him rich by multiplying his money .
    It is alleged that the victim started consulting the fraudulent healers in after he saw a pamphlet advertising their services….

  6. It will soon become worse because a lot of people will be going to these bogus traditional Killers instead of the clinic in fear of being imposed to mandatory HIV/AIDS testing.

  7. JEHOVAH GOD he is the greatest physician, and why going up to that extent of believing traditional doctors..wen health post hav been implimented: however those are the implications of putting faith and trust in your fellow man rather GOD.

  8. It’s a pity that our women are very gullible. They trust the so called pastors and herbalists. They’re easily taken in.

  9. Sadly ,Traditional healers are protected and allowed to operate freely by the govt. Not many of them are brought to book. Govt do something.

  10. Advice to all parents and relatives of all sick people in Zambia: DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PATIENT ALONE WITH A TRADITIONAL DOCTOR EVEN FOR AFEW (RAPING) SECONDS! and please ensure you personally approve any procedures to be undertaken on your patient. Bogus procedures like inserting medicine into the V area using the P instrument should be resisted outright. I thought by now all traditional healers have been certified and licensed. Bogus healers must lose their certification and licenses so that they stop practicing fake procedures on innocent and vulnerable patients. ATASE!!
