Tanzania Warns Politicians: Witchcraft Using Albino Body Parts Will Not Win You Elections

Tanzania’s federal government has been forced to issue a warning to politicians competing in the October elections not to engage in witchcraft in an attempt to improve their odds of winning, reminding candidates that witchcraft was banned nationally in January and any attacks on people with albinism–whose bodies are used in good luck potions–will be prosecuted.
“I want to assure my fellow politicians that there won’t be any parliamentary seat that will be won as a result of using albino body parts,” Deputy Home Affairs Minister Pereira Silima warned politicians last week, noting that the number of attacks on albino people have tended to increase during election season in the past decade. Witch doctors will pay up to $75,000 for a full set of albino body parts, which they later cook into potions and sell at high prices. The demand has led to a black market industry in which individuals try to kill–or at least hack off the limbs of–albinos in their neighborhoods and sell whatever body part they can hack away at a high price.
