Limpopo police say recently empowered rural people are increasingly being accused of witchcraft by jealous neighbours, sometimes with grave consequences.
“Now you are a witch because you are driving a four-by-four (SUV). This is the mentality that people have,” said provincial police spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.
