Special Report Transcript Episode 11, Section 4, Time 27:57

We talk of witchcraft, we don’t even talk of wizard craft, there’s nothing like that. It’s always witch craft. And the victims in the north have been mostly women, old women. // More than 200 people have died at the hands of witch hunters in the Northern Province. Belief in witchcraft remains strong. // It is a mythological thing I think it’s no different from religious belief, spiritual belief; therefore it is something that you cannot wish away within the community. It’s going to be with us for a long time. It’s a belief which you cannot prove, you don’t have to prove, just like in religion one does not have to prove that God exist or that Jesus really died and rose up again. In the Northern Province I think where it began to go wrong is when it was used for political purposes.
