Sara KasimWitchcraft exists in Namibia.
I know this, because there are laws in Namibia to stop you from calling someone a witch.
The witches infiltrated the colonial masters and made sure a law would be passed in 1933, called the Witchcraft Suppression Proclamation, that says it is illegal to call someone a witch or accuse anyone of witchcraft.
The United Nations Human Rights Council recently released a resolution on the same matter, because too many innocent people have been killed, burned, and tortured for being witches.
The real masters of the black arts have been hiding successfully, and we have been harming the innocent.
I remember reading a newspaper story about an old Himba woman who was shackled and isolated in a hut, because her family believed she was a witch and that she was possessed by evil spirits.
It was later found the poor old thing was suffering from dementia, and she was freed in 2012.
And now everybody who blamed their misfortunes on her had to eat humble pie and deal with their problems.
I am sure she was blamed for how the other homestead lost all their cows in the drought, and why the other tate’s wife could not bear a child.
She was probably also blamed for the children of the other family all being either criminals or lazy drug addicts.
This shows witchcraft does exist, but she was not the witch.
Do you remember the miracle black magic tree that fell and stood up and took a walk and was never seen again in the Kavango region?
Stories of witchcraft are in abundance in the land of Masilingi and Mboma, but for some reason it is always some poor guy or lady who has to be punished for the crime of the real masters of deception.
Talking of Mboma, the silver bullet, have you seen the videos of supposed black magic rituals conjuring the speed demons to activate Mboma’s turbo in Tokyo?
Now the whole world believes she is a woman, but changes into a cute boy on the track.
Ai! Julle is dom!
Again, she is just the victim of witchcraft, and not the crafter.
Most people I have met so far have all told me there is either a witch in their family (responsible for killing other members of the family) or someone who has been bewitched to death, illness, or poverty.
And I am not only talking about the Zambezi.
I have also spoken to people at Kalkrand and Tses.
It has also been recorded that someone walks naked at night covered with ash at Tubusis.
We have a serious problem with witchcraft in Namibia.
There is always a story in the newspapers, on the radio, or at the shebeens about witchcraft and magic in Namibia causing havoc, and it is about time we deal with it once and for all.
I propose the establishment of the Witchcraft Investigation Bureau of Namibia, or Wibna.
Their job would be to receive all reports of possible witchcraft, and to investigate and prosecute the witches.
The law will state that you can be a witch all you want, but “the act of witchcraft is illegal”.
These items, mixed in black goatskin are known to vibrate in the presence of real black magic.
The witch finders will make sure the innocent will not be harmed by mobs out for blood, or be abused by family members just because they think they know what a witch looks like.
We need professionals!
