Students Burn “Witches” At the Stake
Back in my day, we used to just pass notes and whine at lunch about our teachers in High School. Apparently these students in South Africa thought that wasn’t sufficient. Instead, they claimed two of their teachers were performing witchcraft.
Then they and their parents dragged the poor souls to the sports field and burned them at the stake. Awful, just awful.
Two South African women have been burned to death after a group of students accused them of bewitching their high school with evil spirits.
Msaba Zungu and Thabitha Thusi, both 60, were seized from their homes near Manguzi in KwaZulu-Natal province.
Students and adults dragged them to a sports field where they were doused with petrol and set alight on Sunday.
Manhlenga High School pupils accused the women of being witches after they began to suffer strange crying fits.
Investigators said Ms Zungu died at the scene and Ms Thusi later succumbed to her burns injuries on Monday.
Police captain Jabulani Mdletshe told the BBC News website: "On 17 August, the students at the mixed high school began to cry randomly and they did not know why.
"The students held a couple of meetings and allegedly decided the problem was these two women were witches who had cast a bad muthi (spell) on the school.
"At 8pm on Sunday, some of the students and community members allegedly took the women from their homes to a football field and set them on fire."
No arrests have been made but police are following a positive line of inquiry, said Capt Mdletshe.
