Witchcraft in farming futile, asserts Pinda
The Prime Minister, Mr Mizengo Pinda, has called on Rukwa residents to abandon the superstitious belief that one can transfer crops from one farm to another.
He said the important thing was to practice modern agriculture by planting good seeds, weeding the crops and harvesting them in time.
"You should stop believing that someone can steal crops and send them to his or her farm miraculously or every person who dies has been bewitched; there is nothing like it in this century," said Mr Pinda.
He emphasized on the need for education which would allow more people to be free from old-fashioned beliefs. He said these have been in the minds of many people for a long time.
