Kinana said police had been summoned to the scene by a concerned community member. Police arrived with municipality officials, traditional leaders and officials from the social development department and tried to rescue the elderly woman from the mob.
“Eventually, the elderly woman was taken away from the mob and to a place of safety. Police opened cases of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, kidnapping and imputing witchcraft. They arrested six suspects aged between 30 and 40. All six suspects remain in police custody and are expected back in court on June 22 in Mount Fletcher for formal bail applications,” said Kinana.
Provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Liziwe Ntshinga expressed concern, saying the youths’ morals had been eroded by social evils and a lack of education into community values. “Young men such as these are supposed to be the protectors of the elderly rather than being violent against them. They are expected to be more enlightened to know chasing elderly people on untested and unsubstantiated allegations of witchcraft carries with it serious repercussions,” said Ntshinga.
Oh Lord! What have we become? 😢
That's very bad no prove, those behind her asslut will not go unpublished by God
We have to intensify our efforts into complete eradication of superstitions and phony beliefs. These superstitions are leading to the murder of our grandmother's, it's unacceptable. Sangomas and false prophets must take responsibility as well, it's often them pointing at others
When we are insulted and told that our brains are black, meaning they're empty, we justifiably vehemently protest such stereotypical categorization. But, these diabolical acts of barbarism do very little to debunk that classification.
MbuyiseniNdlozi Guys, there's no such thing as witchcraft. If you think it's there, then golo lenja kuwe, ngisho wena, ubeka amehlo amakhulu, ngathi udle I acid.🤧🤧🤧.!
