This is not witchcraft you witches 😡

Haao does this mean that witchcraft was legal before?

I doubt there is such a competition, this is just Enca doing what they do best when they got no NEWS.

How can one ban their own culture mara, this a lie blacks are witches by nature that won't change.

This competition should have been allowed to go on. We also want to see the demonstrations😁

😂😅😅

Africans must not be ashamed of their science practice

Competition?¿¿¿

Lmao that country is something else... Banned?

Kanjani amaSwati ewusebenzisa kanje umuthi ?

ENCA is undermining our culture but I'm not surprised. The channel is owned by whites.

ziyandas ngeke alunge amampondo apha!

Cc DrMkhize4 your opinion sir?

That's not news worthy. Plus you're stereotyping black culture

j_kgaphola come have a look at this.

😂😂😂 Kanti there's competition in witchcraft?

AH 😲

What's a 'witchdoctor'? What's a 'traditional healer'?

Sangomas are the new face of witchcraft now?

Limpopo must host the games then. 🤭🤭🤭 I'm kidding

Is this really a thing?

Why post a picture of a traditional healer, does it represent witchcraft and magic?

Why bun it because as Swazis, we know that this thing exists and we used to it now..

My argument is if witchcraft existed and people had 'superpowers', those people would be billionaires, presidents, and CEOs - you know powerful people. Thoughts? Lols
