Zimbabwe has lifted a ban on the practice of witchcraft starting July, repealing a legislation that dates back to English rule. The report suggests that there were numerous accounts of the use of magic, and the new law effectively legitimizes many practices of traditional healers. These include rolling bones to foretell the future, divination, attempts to communicate with the dead, using muti-traditional powders and fetishes-to ensure the desired sex of a child.

Now here’s an interesting comparison with all things Western that would give Witchcraft a run for its money.

• Rolling bones to foretell the future :: Gazing into a crystal ball to foretell the future (Clairvoyance)
• Divination :: Miss Cleo
• Attempts to communicate with the dead :: John Edward
• Using muti-traditional powders :: Pharmaceuticals
• Fetishes :: Fetishes

I think we are not any different or superior to any African headhunter (with due apologies), we mock their culture, then turn around and act like idiots ourselves. Humans intrinsically believe in the supernatural, some call it witchcraft, others religion. Need proof of admittance, here’s what Reverend Roy Musasiwa who runs a theological college in the capital, Harare said, “As Christians we’ve got to recognize that supernatural forces are good if they originate from God - now witchcraft is one of the things that originates from the Satanic world.”
