Swaziland has launched a crackdown on high-flying witches after banning them from hovering above 150metres.
Anyone caught flying their
broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000
fine, the country’s Civil Aviation Authorities said this week.
According to the Corporate Affairs Sabelo Dlamini‘A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit,’
The new aviation law was
highlighted after a private investigator was caught flying a helicopter
equipped with a video camera to gather surveillance information.
Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the power of black magic.
Last year a leading Swazi MP
called for a hike in tax paid by witch doctors to help ease the
cash-strapped country’s financial woes.
