Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - "Doctor" Manyaunyau doesn't know how he decides which cats' heads he chews off, and which he chops off. According to him, the cat-killing is the work of "spiritual powers" that attack him and render him unconscious.

But as he ruminated on the matter from a house gifted to him by a re-elected Tanzanian minister who believes witchcraft saved his seat, he said he knows that his bloody spells really pay off.

"He's here in a big position and a member of parliament, but I can't say his name," said Manyaunyau, claiming doctor-patient privilege as East Africa's "perfect cure champion", in the words of his personal website, which features grisly before-and-after kitten photos.

In 2010, the US-based Pew Research Center found that 93 percent of Tanzanians believe in witchcraft, the highest rate in Africa.

Manyaunyau - the sound cats are said to make when they meow - changed his name from Jongo Salum eight years ago, when he gave up gutting fish and driving a bus, and took over "doctoring" using cats from his grandfather.

"People gave me this name, as I am a friend of cats," he said. Cats are considered bad luck in Tanzania, but some believe that they can bestow power if decapitated and their blood is drunk.

When the election comes, this is when us witchdoctors get a lot of respect, as all these politicians come running to us.

Although he said he kills three to four cats a month, he claims he could power his way through as many cats as life throws at him - unless it's the holy month of Ramadan, when he abstains.

Manyaunyau would not name the politicians using his services, but was willing to speak about how many are requesting them ahead of Tanzania's parliamentary and presidential elections in October.

"Most of my clients are members of parliament and also ministers," Manyaunyau said, although this claim could not be independently verified.

Targeting albinos

Manyaunyau offers his services despite a recent warning - the first of its kind - from Tanzania's home affairs ministry, telling candidates not to use black magic to boost their campaigns.

There are few witchdoctors like Manyaunyau who focus on cats. More common in Tanzania are witchdoctors who target people with albinism - a congenital condition that makes eyes, hair, and skin paler, and that affects one in 1,400 people here in Tanzania - compared to just one in 20,000 worldwide.

Trapped in their own skin in a tropical country with fierce sunshine and black magic beliefs, albinos in Tanzania are routinely abducted, mutilated, murdered or sold alive to witchdoctors, who charge a small fortune for charms made from their body parts
