Let's make use of our indigenous knowledge on witchcraft, black magic, divine intervention

Belief in magic and witchcraft has been around since the beginning of time. In fact, almost all nations have their own secret world of magic and wizardry – pacts with the Devil for power, to do evil and even harm others. 

A few weeks ago, following Nigel Amos’ loss at the China Games, a meme circulated online depicting a photo-shopped picture of a Chinese news report that said Batswana blamed the loss on witchcraft. Some people took offence but it’s just a joke considering that some Batswana are bigoted, common and narrow minded to the point of believing in witchcraft.
