| The reason why women who sleep with ‘n'anga’ to tame husbands.. |
“Even wives of high profile figures sleep with witchdoctors, but what they don’t know is that once they have sex with the witchdoctors, they create spiritual connection that will bind them to visit these dens regularly,” adds Burale. ‘Doctor’ Kipini, a witchdoctor that we contacted on phone only said “I offer a number of services, including love and marriage related cures. When women seek us out with problems like inability to conceive, we must help them” and quickly hung up. And it is not just women protecting their turf. Men ‘lock’ wives too. Partrick, a matatu driver plying the Ngong’ Road route says, “I decided to protect my wife from mafisi (hyenas) by visiting a witchdoctor in Lang’ata who applied some stuff on my SIM card for a fee and told me no one will ever touch my wife. It’s been nine months now and I am sure no one is eyeing her.” But why would ‘sophisticated’ Nairobians consult witchdoctors?
According to a Pew Research Centre survey, Kenyans are ranked 15th in Africa among people who believe in witchcraft, a few points behind the Democratic Republic of Congo, and way ahead of Ethiopia, Nigeria, Zambia and Rwanda. A Pew report published in a local daily also revealed that a quarter of Kenyans, both Christians and Muslims, believe in the protective power of juju (charms or amulets) and that they consulted traditional healers. Gregor Schmidt, in Contemporary Beliefs About Witches and Witchcraft in Kenya, says: “The belief in witches does not depend on education or religious conviction. Many have never met a witch, but the belief is rooted so deeply in the African cultural knowledge that nobody doubts it. University professors and simple farmers, followers of African Religion, Christians and Muslims, believe in their existence.”
