Son shoots stepmother
02 June 2010
THERE was drama in a polygamous family on Sunday in Nquthu, northern KwaZulu-Natal, when a 31-year-old man opened fire on his stepmother.
Mthunzi Ngcobo fired several shots at his stepmother, Vonto Ngcobo, whom he accused of practising witchcraft. She was found dead in a pool of blood in the impoverished Mkhonjane village.
Some villagers are now allegedly demanding that women suspected of witchcraft be eliminated.
Mthunzi Ngcobo, a trainee sangoma, later allegedly shot himself dead in front of his brother Mjikiseni.

Ahimé!
Thu, 06/03/2010 - 16:13 — MorgauseYet another horror story! Two suspects (whom the media calls "people") kick open a 70-year old's door, Hollywood style, and the police's reasoning (or lack thereof) is immediately that since it is not normal for a 70-year old lady to get gunned down in her own home, that it must be "witchcraft-related". Ludicrous! In our country crimes against the elderly, especially women, are the order of the day. So the perpetrators are "people" and the old lady is immediately labelled a "witch". How typical! Is the logical conclusion that they were there to take her pension money a far more realistic deduction? No, let's just sweep another murder under the carpet and call it "witchcraft related".
A grandson murders his stepmother and look there, he did it because she was a "witch". And guess what? He's a trainee sangoma. And the villagers? Do they stand with the poor victim? No, they demand that women suspected of "witchcraft" be eliminated.
Our beautiful Constitution guarantees EQUALITY for all. When will these women be regarded as EQUAL? When will they receive EQUAL protection?
So sad to see how their suffering goes unheard.
