Their believes is close to paganism, which is in contrast with my European background. I have witnesses first hand episodes that were caused by Sangomas spells of deaths and other malicious affair against people witched on demand. B: There is a strong beleive amongst african that often ask Sangomas for MUTI (medicine made of herbs) that can cause many effects on humans. C: Stainles steel is not my usual medium used by finded OK for the puorpouse.
