Chief wants tsikamutandas outlawed

TSIKAMUTANDAS are causing havoc across the country and must be jailed as they are a danger to society, the president of the Chiefs Council, Chief Fortune Charumbira  (pictured), has said.

In an interview, Chief Charumbira said the tsikamutandas who allegedly accuse villagers of practicing witchcraft and force them to pay cash or livestock for services rendered should be reported to the police.

He said local chiefs must not allow the Tsikamutandas to operate in their areas.

Chief Charumbira said police must arrest the witch hunters as they were ripping off communities.

He said chiefs should not participate in the witch hunting exercises in their areas.
