Meanwhile, witchcraft is a common phenomenon in the African context with many blaming misfortunes on “witches” who they say would have cast spells on them.
Some approach traditional healers (n’anga/nyanga/Maine) or prophets to protect themselves from the “spells.”
Meanwhile, some believe that those blaming witchcraft will be delusional and can be healed if they get professional assistance from psychologists.
