SEVEN People have been burnt to death after being suspected of practising witchcraft in Mwansakombe, Samfya district in Luapula Province.
The incident happened at Nambale Village 90km north of Samfya and 20km from chief mwansakombe palace.
It is alledged that the seven where responsible of the many deaths which have been happening in the village.
Just recently, a girl died after lightening struck her and the villagers ‘believed’ after consultations with a witchdoctor that it was the seven witches responsible for the death and calamities of Nambale village. This led to an instant mob to organise and resolve to burn all suspected witches and wizards in the village.
An organised mob justice of some villagers ascended on the suspects, rounded them up in order to execute the ‘justice’ for their deceased relatives.
The seven where tied with fire wood surrounding them before they were burnt.

I support MAN K. Indoshi eko shaba. That is why many abengi ngabaleka incito tabaya kumushi or ngabaya kumushi, balafwa bwangu. I grew up in the village and witchcraft is real.

This is a clear sign that those people need Christ.I strongly advise them to accept Christ as their saviour,because if you have CHRIST,you can not fear a witch not even the Devil himself and nothing con harm you.Be BORN AGAIN and prove my advise.

It is sad that in this age and time we can still exprience wicth burning. All civilizationas in the world went thru this stage. The sad part is we are still in the dark ages in 2011 when this was happening 500 yrs ago in the developed world. Are we that far behind??? We needed to be exhibing a better level of civilization looking at how far we have come. Whats wrong with us? We take 10 steps forward and take 100 steps backwards. Its disheartening!!!

Coming from a witch myself, I find this very saddening. It continues to show the ignorance the world harbors. As for you, one who claims Christianity is savior from evil, it is you who murdered, raped and pillaged across centuries. It is you who killed, purposefully, 90% of the Native american race, in the name of your most holy god.
P.S: witches don’t believe is the existence of your deity, satan. So good luck trying to pin him on us.
