Does muti really work?

Last Saturday my friends and I were for some weird reason engaged in a conversation about muti. This topic came about after one of my friends had been talking about her misfortunes over the past three years or so and how recently she was involved in a car accident. To my surprise she believes that someone was behind her misfortunes and that very person must be consulting a witch doctor and receiving muti to use on her; because her life had been consumed by many strange events; therefore she feels that someone has to be responsible for this and that there is no other possible explanation besides her theory.

Some people say that muti only works on people who believe in it. Well I beg to differ, I keep on asking myself that how would it be possible for an ordinary person to create potions and herbal remedies that are intended to bring harm or sometimes fortune to people? What gives them the ability to do these actions? You sometimes find people on the streets handing out leaflets that say that they have the ability to bring back a lost lover, interpret your dreams, and give you answers for your misfortunes and so on. This is purely a money making scheme, these people don’t really have the ability to do these acts.

Why are black people so quick to say that someone is using muti on them when they seem to encounter a series of misfortunes? I’m sure that they are other reasons behind the situations they find themselves in. Or maybe it’s merely because black people have been so used to the idea that (umntu omnyama akha funi ukubona omnye umntu omnyama ephezulu) a black person doesn’t want to see another black person succeeding in life, this notion has made them reach this conclusion.

What do you think people?

  1. African people are very superstitious, and it is also part of their tradition. it is believed that if you don't have a dark soul and you are not involved into witchcraft then it'll be highly probable that this type of spell won;t reach out to you.
