NHLANGANO – Are unscrupulous individuals killing people with albinism in order to extract their body fat?


That is if allegations that a certain individual, believed to be a ‘traditional healer’, was being investigated following the discovery of an oily substance, which initial reports suggest may have been extracted from a person with albinism.


Albinism is a hereditary disorder characterised by the complete or absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes.
It was alleged yesterday that the suspicious oily substance was discovered at a certain homestead situated in the outskirts of Nhlangano, where an occupant reportedly fingered the alleged ‘traditional healer’ as the source of origin during an interrogation.


The shocking revelation eme-rged yesterday during a meeting of traditional healers from the Shiselweni Region, under their umbrella organisation, Bemdzabu Bamunye Eswatini – Balaphi Bendzabuko, where attendants raised fears that the practice may rise due to the upcoming legislative polls slated for August and September.


The allegations about the possible gruesome trade, which were made by leader of the organisation and popular traditional healer Sipheshula Mtsetfwa, left the membership greatly astonished.


The visibly upset Mtsetfwa made the startling allegations during his opening remarks, where he disclosed that he had heard about the issue during his visit to the  Nhlangano Police Station, where he had gone to engage officers about the logistics of the meeting.
He said at the police station he was confronted by a certain officer, who registered his disappointment and shock over the macabre discovery.


“Our image as traditional healers has been tainted. I have been informed that someone was found with what he described as human fat, which he told the investigators was extracted from a person with albinism. I have been told a certain person who calls himself a traditional healer is involved in all this,” alleged the popular traditional healer.
