We’re such a backward people; on one side we’re a Christian nation, on the other side we’re witchcraft disciples/believers. Yaaba…
If the witchcraft nonsense was real, wouldn’t ECL use it on HH in a heartbeat?

And the charade continues… this young man will also become an old man and become a wizard and his grandson will kidnap and confine him. Common sense is not that common.
These people who havent gone to school think every old person is a witch. Instead of celebrating her old age they plan to kill her. Really the ignorant are in the Devil’s grip.
Yah ubututu!
But naimwe ba tubulo abanyina mumenshi muleke ubuloshi bwenu bwatusebana over over!
If witchcraft works we should vote all wizards and witches into our parliament. Lets see if a cabinet of witches can stop loadshedding by casting a good spell on Kariba Dam. A 35 year-old cant be thinking like this.
Cant we as rational beings sit down and think and logically analyse things? We are so scared to think because this will give us answers we dont like. We will find out that our problems are not caused by anyone else but us. Certainly not the witches and wizards
