THE family of a man whose body was dug up from his grave were disappointed and discouraged that the alleged sangoma and his alleged accomplice have been granted bail.
community you must be aware of these Sh!t Sangomas these are the ones who send people to kill our children saying they make a strong muti. I wish they could cut them piece piece and let them feel. Report Abuse
Its so sad that we as human beings are now classified as "ingredients" by these unscrupulous Sangomas. Its even more painful that the dead are not safe anymore!! I wonder where will we be safe?? I feel sorry for the family the trauma they are going through!! Report Abuse

Those are real characteristics of a Black person, we believe in anything, From the what you call Rev Mbhoro to Zondo, we believe people can make miracles to heal cancer, illnesses and all that, how stupid we have become. Sangomas kill our people for muti, the do all sort of things and we still believe them and on the other side we run to the Minister for prayers. Oh God help us all, we are doomed Report Abuse

This is witchcraft, a sangoma is a diviner that mediates and respects A'Baphantse and know I'sthunzi se Tongo remains with the dead untill such a time it moves on, a true sangoma knows not to disturb abaphantse, Itongo lo mfu is aware. This is Budoo, dark magic, U'buthagathi... Report Abuse

There is no law in south africa, hence outsiders do as they please because justice is very far from our judicial. Really our legal officials are a disgrace in the world. Report Abuse

they shouldnt have bothered the poor family in the first place.
should have just taken the bribe from the bustards and left without the family knowing
now they went all the way, to make the family aware of this
the family was happy thinking that their nightmare is over and the law is on its toes
now the perpetrators are granted bail ????
ALBINO BONES are really working....they are coming back for more Report Abuse

Poor Albino, his spirit is not resting. What kind of muti to you get from a dead person, Albino of all the people?
I just dont believe the the state released them, who is getting the bail money? State? and who is to repair the damage at the grave? where are the body part? in the police hands? poor Albino, his spirit will never rest, This is were I will take the Law into my hands, burn the wizards alive Report Abuse

What a frightening poll that almost 30% of Sowetan readers believe in muti! No wonder these charlatans still find people to purchase their snake oil. Do they believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy too? And we allow these people to vote on matters of national importance?! Bizarre.
Take heart, It is a senseless poll as 'muti' is everything from herbal tinctures to charms. If I believe that mint tea helps to stop nausea, I essentially believe in muti. Its scary that a black journalist who writes for a paper with a largely black readership doesn't even know the right terminology. Last week body parts were described as herbs! Report Abuse

welcome to South Africa, Mzansi baba......really strange, because they were caught red handed and evidence was there, but what does the court do? dismises all that and gives them bail to go and hopefully dig up more graves and who knows, they might even kill someone this time just to get the body parts Report Abuse
