by Damon Leff, Morgause Fontleve and Luke Martin
Foreword by Dr. Dale Wallace

Witchcraft: bias, prejudice and discrimination in South Africa
by Damon Leff
‘Witchcraft: bias, prejudice and discrimination’ examines the pervasive institutional bias and prejudice against Witchcraft in South Africa. It critically examines the failures of both the Ralushai ‘Commission of Inquiry into Witchcraft Violence and Ritual Murder in the Northern Province’ and the Commission for Gender Equality’s ‘National Conference on Witchcraft Violence’ in stemming Witchcraft violence and in reinforcing discriminatory stereotypes, and challenges the African National Congress-led government to consider the legitimate interests of South African Witches in developing national policies and programmes to correct inequalities to which Witches are subjected.
