Sangoma witches kill, eat humans in magic rituals

By Sandra Marroquin —

A South African mother sold her 6-year-old daughter to a Sangoma witchdoctor who wanted to kill her and use her body parts in rituals in March. Her pale skin and green eyes meant she would produce greater magical power for the “spiritual healer.”

The horrifying court case of Joshlin Smith, which led to the conviction of mother Kelly Smith, is NOT a rare act of a psychopath. It is a common practice in Subsaharan Africa, according to a former Sangoma practitioner.

“All the traditional healers that you see working out there are using human body parts,” says Pakisi Machaba of South Africa. “There is no traditional healer that is not using human body parts.”

There are 200,000 Sangoma practitioners in South Africa alone.

In 2017 in Pietermaritzburg, near Durban, Nino Mbatha walked into a police station and, turning himself into authorities, announced: “I’m tired of eating human flesh.” He handed over to cops an arm and a leg. He brought police to his home where other human body remains were recovered.

Mbatha and another associate were convicted to life in prison. Police investigations found that 300 people confessed to consuming human flesh.

In August of this year in the Limpopo province, a 55-year-old “traditional healer” was arrested after police caught him with two human heads belonging to mother and daughter, Rendani Tshigwil, 32, and Ndingatshilidz Muronga, age 2.

Two other adults were arrested when they were caught with the corresponding bodies.

Meanwhile, liberal politicians praise and exalt native religions and criticize Christianity, associating it with colonialism and repression of people of color.

Africans turn to witchcraft when they can’t find solution to their problems elsewhere. Even Christians are reported to ditch their faith and dip in Satanism when hard-pressed. Politicians in Africa have been known to seek the services of witches to win elections, the AP reports.

The fact that witchdoctors are so prevalent, though operating largely outside of the purvey of secular media, attests to the fact that clients abound.

“This destroys communities,” says Boer YouTuber Willem Petzer. “It destroys the lives of families in particular. Children in this country are being targeted by witchdoctors for the purpose of engaging in unscientific, primitive and downright evil practices that have absolutely no benefit to society at all. The entire practice of Sangoma rituals is destructive to the lives of this country’s people and the very fabric of our society.”
