10/18/2008: "Machete gangs bring fear to South Africa"

The practice has brought terror to parts of South Africa, where it is estimated that at least 300 people are killed each year for the medicine, known as muti.

One victim was Fortune Khumalo, a boy of nine, who was attacked as he relieved himself in bushes.

His attacker sliced off his penis and testicles to sell to a traditional healer in Johannesburg, where body parts can fetch £250 and a human head up to £500, according to the research for Channel 4's Unreported World.

[ This would be even more widespread if whites did not discourage these savages by efforts to improve standards of behaviour in this part of the world. Really it is none of the business of whites, but my point is that while white influence diminishes this becomes more of a problem in Africa, and meanwhile Africans are bringing their behaviour with them to the west - so we increasingly find this sort of violence here. ]
