While I as a Christian believe in the works of the devil, at no time are we allowed to brandish someone a witch and harm them or banish them. We need enlightenment.

That's Ghana for you Maxfrance what do expect when so many of the followers of NDC have no brains in their heads. We shall continue to wallow in poverty as long as NDC is in control of affairs with majority of people from the north mining the economy. We are doomed.

Why drag them to court and waste our cocoa money?The district assembly should be allowed to pass a "by law" banning people from accusing people like HER without any "factual evidence". European countries succeeded in banning such nonsense.The "onus" should be on the "Accuser" to prove his/her case.This "nonsense" has been going on for far too long.

Yes, ban the damn backward thinking practice, and also whip the chiefs who encourage this dysfunctional mentality within their communities.

The wizards have become pastors. There's no Oz in Ghana, hence no wizards. This is a society where men bully and traumatize women, and it has become an acceptable practice in some quarters. A law should be passed against it, but the unfortunate situation here is that the victims have come to believe that they're in fact witches. Brainwashing at its best. Instead of moving these women into camps, make it a crime for bullying women by stigmatizing them as witches, where they're then seen as evil and therefore not acceptable members of the community. Stupid idea to have a witches camp, for all it does is inadvertently contribute to a stupid belief. The chiefs and residents of the communities where this stupidity isd prevalent should be helped with educational information programs explaining why the belief in withes is doing not but polarize their communities while inflicting untold pain and suffering on the victims that are labeled as witches.

The solution lies in massive industrialization, urbanization, education and a technically developed society. Do we have witches camps in Berlin, Tokyo, Taipei, Riyadh, London etc. Rural and primitive societies are always safe havens for witchcraft, ghosts and the preternatural
