For many years, Albinos have been hunted down in different parts of Africa like animals—and often murdered with their ‘special’ parts being cut off for black magic rituals.
Believing in black magic is the fountainhead of many African superstitions—and even if you see such beliefs as non-harmful, the fact that someone must be killed for some rituals to be done for the magic to work shows we should start cutting through all superstitious hogwash.
“Four people have been charged with murdering an albino woman in Tanzania and cutting off her legs and an arm for black magic rituals. Zawadi Magindu was killed at Nyamalulu village in the north western Geita region of the African country in November 2008. The four people accused of killing the 22-year-old have pleaded not guilty with a hearing set to continue next week,” reports MailOnline.
