Wow. I thought this was an interesting find... Hard to imagine what drove the community to something like this...

There are some extremists in S. Africa, who don't like witches. In fact, SA is trying to pass a bill to ban witchcract, Wicca. shamanism and anything resembling those things.
It is ignorance and hate which makes people do things like that.

It's amazing that in this day and age there are people still entwined in centuries old rituals. The burning of witches....

Absolutely pathetic.
