Albinos in Tanzania - Albinos under Threat - Ann Ngugi Part 3

An 11-year old albino girl was killed and beheaded in Swaziland because there is a belief that body parts of albinos are good for curing many diseases. It seems this albino girl (albinos are those who do not have any pigments in their eyes, hair or skins) was returning from the river with her friends when a man caught her, shot her and cut off her head. There have been an earlier instance of the hand of an albino girl being cut off and a person was caught in Tanzania trying to sell a live albino man. Witches and wizards are fine for Harry Potter and friends but not in real life. Those who practice such rituals should have the death sentence reserved for them.

I think it is horrible, and cruel what they did to this child and is wrong! There is good and bad in all religion unfortunately. But not all Witches are bad. Many only practice the good and do not dabble in bad.
But when u are in the part of the world you are dealing with Voodoo which is a dark magic and this is truly and example of that and cruel punishment.

those who practice voodoo, black magic, witchcraft etcetera have followers who believe in such supernatural things and have faith in their healing powers ...
