Operation to flush out witchdoctors in Mombasa kicks off

Mombasa, Kenya’s vacationing paradise for both local and international tourists, is home to many witchdoctors. A casual stroll in the streets reveals all manner of advertisements involving magic and related clairvoyant sciences.

This is evident from all manner of posters dotting lamp posts, walls and trees along the city streets. From love portions to awakening dying embers, aphrodisiacs, tracing lost relatives to finding a lover or job and warding off ill luck, demons and spirits. Some magicians claim they can provide medicine or concoctions to prevent sexual infidelity among wives or husbands.
