Four people arrested
An 80-year-old woman accused of witchcraft was hacked and set alight in her house allegedly by members of the community in Mbuzini village, near Komatipoort, Mpumalanga.
Dumisile Mahlangu was allegedly found naked at a neighbour’s house and was accused of practicing witchcraft on Saturday night.
Mpumalanga police said after neighbours found Mahlangu naked in one of the houses at about 11pm, she was hacked and then taken to her house where she was locked inside and it was set alight.
“They accused her of being a witch, hacked her and locked her in her house and set the house on fire,” said police spokesperson Brig Leonard Hlathi.
He condemned the “barbaric” incident, saying several people have been arrested.
“The provincial commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga Gen Mondli Zuma is condemning the barbaric incident and calls for community members to not take the law into their hands. As the police we have now arrested four people, a 31-year-old man, twins who are 44 years old and a 22-year-old man who is a child of one of the twins. They are charged with murder and arson and they will appear in the Tonga magistrate's court on Tuesday,” said Hlathi.
On Monday afternoon the community was mobilising to have a meeting in which they were going to discuss that Mahlangu should not be buried in their village and that accused police are aiding witches.
“This woman have been bewitching us here... we caught her in the act. We don't want her to be buried in our village. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will be protesting outside the court because they arrested people who saved the community from the witch,” said a community member who asked not to be named.
And yet, there are still those on black owned radio stations who claim they can stop “Voodoos and hoodoos and love potions”
One woman claimed the listeners who have been “cursed” can order a doll from her. Then you pin a large number of ten dollar bills to the doll, and then once a week mail a $10 bill to her, and as the money flows in the mail,the “curse” will slowly be lifted.
I actually heard the above on a Negro radio station out of Mississippi a few years back. When they weren’t selling hoodoo removers they actually had some good blues music from the 1950s and 60s on their program.
Pelosi on vacation again.
She probably refused to wear a mask. If so, they burned her at stake rightfully. Burning people you disagree with sounds like pretty sound science to me.
No Monty Python yet ?
What has happened to this Website?

Oh, yeah, Komatipoort, just down the street from the Piggly-Wiggly!₩
That is certainly the enlightened way to go.
No mask? You must burn!!! We must eradicate Covid!!!
I am personally ticked off because my husband won’t have s** with me out of fear of getting Covid. He is nuts. Ready to file for divorce. It had already been years, but now he has another excuse.
