While we as a nation still hold onto such crazy primitive notions such as withcraft, and resort to such barbaric measures to punish or eliminate so-called witches, we have no right to suggest that we are anything like a so-called 1st world nation, nor even that we are "developing". I find it distressing that in 2012 we still have citizens who behave in this manner, ogten with impunity. Report Abuse

the people who burnt down the madala accused of witchcraft i dedicate Umanji's song that has these lines -
*singing* " ha ba bona mokekola a godile ebile a le mosetlha,ba ya mmolaya, ba re ke Moloi loi
aowa le seka la re bolaela bonkgono ba rona, re sa ba rata yhe, ke badimo ba rona.........." *singing*
@ RobinH I also find it distressing, but object to your referring to " we as a nation". Political correctness is one thing, but a total distortion of reality quite another. It is only a certain section of the population that believes in these things and that is holding us back from becoming anything better than a 3rd world country. Report Abuse

I again call on all South Africans to condemn accusations of witchcraft, to condemn those who make such accusations, and to condemn witch-hunts.I call on the Editor of The Sowetan to publicly support '30 days of advocacy against witch-hunts' - 29 March to 27 April.
Please, make a difference, condemn these barbaric acts of violence!
