Uganda Radio To Ban Witch-Doctor Ads 1

Uganda's ethics minister, James Buturo, is leading a movement to ban witch-doctors from advertising on the radio. Witchcraft is a major problem in Uganda, particularly in rural areas. Buturo says that radio stations, "...are promoting witchcraft-related activities to the detriment of Uganda's integrity." When asked for comment a witch-doctor spokesman said, "Ooo eee, ooh ah ah, ting tang walla walla, bing bang." Bing bang, indeed.

  • I've read quite a few articles (esp. on the BBC) about Witchdoctors using Albino body parts in whatever it is they make for other people. So, in turn there is a trade on the body parts of Albino humans due to these Witchdoctors. Sometimes they kill the Albinos, sometimes they just remove parts or limbs. Make jokes but real people have died or been disfigured.
