Police found the child had been stabbed in the neck and chest and her intestines had been pulled out of her abdomen. The knife wound showed the girl had been sliced open from her sternum to the pelvis just below her navel. According to police, the mother, who is a sangoma, allegedly killed her daughter in the belief that her death would help improve her business which was doing badly. Police sniffer dogs led officers to four exhibits on the premises. All of them were contaminated with human blood. The premises served as residential and business premises for the woman's traditional healing practice.

<div align="left">Not long ago, South Africa was shocked when a 2-year-old boy was discovered near Soweto. His thumbs had been cut off and there had been an attempt to gouge out his eyes. It is a known fact that muti (the "medicine" used by traditional healers) is considered more powerful if the innocent victim is still alive when the parts are removed.</div><div align="left"> It was also reported that a man had slaughtered his 6-year-old like an animal (at his home in Diepkloof). He emasculated him, split open his chest, removed his heart and cooked and ate it. The dead child's genitals were in his pocket when he was arrested. According to Johannesburg's muti-king, Dr Kessavan Naidoo, "Thumbs are used as medicine to call up ancestors, while human eyes are gouged out and ground into a paste which users apply to their foreheads in the hopes of obtaining 'third eye vision' enabling them to see the spirit world."</div><div align="left"> Sangomas (black witch doctors) remove most of the vital organs for their "medicines" including the eyes, the heart, genitals etc. The body parts are then used for various "medicinal" uses and traditional healing practices.</div><div align="left"> Muti murders are still committed, even in this modern day and age. When the traditional doctor of an evil character calls his assitants to fill up his empty horn, one can be sure of yet another murder to be committed. Not so long ago for instance, a toddler, still alive, was found on a rubbish dump nearby a big city. The little boy was in a shocking condition. His genitals were amputated for possibly the purpose of making muti. The centuries old belief that human blood and parts of the body is essential for the preparation of medicine is still practised even today by many witch doctors. His medicine is known as muti. It is prepared from parts cut from the living body of a human being. The victim is then left to bleed to death. </div>The following is a gruesome document.Do not read if you are sensitive to issues relating todeath, mutilation, child abuse and cultic behaviourHere, a mother reflects how she was forced to help kill her own child. Helen Madide, of the Thohoyandou area in South Africa, was 18-years-old when she became a social pariah. She was the mother of a toddler named Fulufhuwani and was separated from his father, Naledzani Mabuda, a traditional healer known as a sangoma...While most of the 70,000 sangomas in South Africa provide herbal remedies for minor ailments, some crave more potent ingredients to practice muti, the Zulu word for medicine. "He began to tell me stories. His ancestors said that he must kill me and the child so that he can be rich," Helen told Nobody's Child, a BBC documentary on the investigation into the London boy's death. "He showed me the path and forced me to go along that path. He was pushing me and demanding me to go whether I like it or not. He said he was going to kill the baby first while I see the baby, then secondly he will kill me." Although Helen tried to escape, Mabuda caught her and forced her to hold Fulufhuwani's legs while he cut the child's throat. "When the child was dead, he started to cut all those pieces, the hands, the legs and even the sex organs," Helen says. Limbs from children, primarily the sexual organs, are said to be the most potent. These are sometimes taken from live victims because their screams are thought to enhance the power of the medicines...Mabuda then locked Helen up with the child's body. But his relatives, fearing for his wife and child, called the police...Conservative estimates are that at least 300 people have been murdered for their body parts in the past decade in South Africa. And Dr Anthony Minnar, of the Institute for Human Rights and Criminal Justice in South Africa, fears the toll could be much higher. "We have children going missing every week from our townships," he says. "The assumption is that those missing children are being put into prostitution and also that they are being used for muti murder."...
