Swaziland Witches Banned From Flying Above 150 Metres by BadAttitude(m): 4:35pm On May 16, 2013 |
Swaziland has launched a crackdown on 'high-flying witches' after banning them from 'hovering above 150 metres'. Swaziland Witches Banned From Flying Above 150 Metres It has been a long time since witches were burnt at the stake in Europe but the accusation remains a serious one in the landlocked African country. Anyone caught flying their broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000 (N8,513,115) fine, the country's Civil Aviation Authorities said this week. According to the Corporate Affairs Sabelo Dlamini, "A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the 150-metre limit." The new aviation law was highlighted after a private investigator was caught flying a helicopter equipped with a video camera to gather surveillance information. Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the power of black magic. Last year a leading Swazi MP called for a hike in tax paid by witch doctors to help ease the cash-strapped country’s financial woes. http://news.naij.com/34275.html
