A grown man with a wife and kids has the audacity to tell people that his own dad is a witch so he that he can take the land that's just crazy and wrong 😮

What a barbaric people so sick to know that just because of their grey hair they accuse these old people a witch and killing them!they dont know that every person on this earth once you reach 50's or 60's your hair will turned out to grey police men and politicians should get involve to educate those ignorance and lunatic young genarations!

I'm middle eastern and we love our elderly even if they are not our family, Africa is the same mostly.
The internet has opened the mind for greed in some people of africa & this curse will ruin everyone it touches.
I cried so much at the pain of these people and the wickedness from the attackers. I pray Africa heals and the people once again are smiling with happiness

My heart aches and I’m not the crying type but tears fell from my eyes when I heard and saw what Katana is going through and went through including the others..THE GOD THAT I SERVEEE WILL TAKE REVENGE FOR THE ELDERS and everyone else in this world. I am sooo angry 😤😡 right now!
All those young folks and all the others involved will surely reap what they’ve sown. Mark my words. The Bible says it.

Lord God Almighty come back for us your children !

I'm disgusted by the people who do these things!!

@crystalo9489 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

@ShuuyaSimon April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

Accusing old people of witchcraft while the young one are the one who are witches these days 😢 those people must not find peace may the almighty punish them

@kelanicampbell320 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

If i was an elder with land and feeling like i could be hacked for it… I would sell it to non family and start over somewhere else in order to live the rest of my years in peace. 💔

@kelanicampbell320 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

This is just heartbreaking. I know in the familial relationships have deteriorated significantly over the generations. I never would have thought it was like this in Africa 😢

@kelanicampbell320 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

The authorities do NOTHING???? I bet if the guilty began to suffer hacking this problem would no longer be a problem.

@JayMunye April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

it is a shame to witness these kind incidents staple country with a police and milliary has And cant protect their citizens I feel sorry about these elders I think is the government behind corruptions coz they want these elders their land and these thugs get paid to do these evil actions God knows the best

@mackenziehonjo5415 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

The police' reaction and lack of action is what makes me livid. They distorted and forget the purpose of their job. Their job is not to collect and count dead bodies. Their job is to stop people from dying. To give them peace. So there will be no dead bodies to count and collect. People are still doing it because they just let them. If they start arresting and punishing people, I don't think anyone would dare do it anymore. They keep doing it because they think there are no consequences and they can just get away with it. This is so f**k*d up.

@chineyemoses259 April 16, 2025 - 4:43 pm

I know this world is very wicked, but I NEVER thought something like this is happening. This is beyond wickedness!

I think churches of Jesus christ is needed the .pastors to preach the gospel of Jesus and teach them that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but we are fighting a against principalities that is invisible
