4 People in Tanzania Charged With Murdering An Albino Woman And Cutting Off Her Legs And An Arm For Black Magic Rituals

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.

The website adds that; Public prosecutor Ezron Mwasimba said: ‘We have gathered compelling evidence against the accused persons including from members of the bereaved family who had identified them.’ “The trial is the first of its kind to be held in the Geita region where six albinos were killed and three wounded between 2007 and 2012, according to police data. The charges come as members of Tanzania’s albino society prepare to hold nationwide protests next week to call on the government to take more action to stop such attacks.”

Killing another human being to harvest his or her body parts for some rituals is not only evil but also shows the ignorance of the killers—it’s such widespread beliefs or closely related ones which have halted the civilisation of Africa.

You would think we should have realized by now that such superstitions and rituals are nonsense in a 21st century—yet we are so stupid not to even spot it.
