However, witchcraft and magical beliefs were interfering with the decisions made by the Mau Mau society.
The society seized collected everything to do with witchcraft and burned it. All kinds of paraphernalia were destroyed.. All witchdoctors, wizards and magicians were then made to take an oath and swear that they would never go back to that business. Whoever chose to go back did so at his peril, the penalty being death by hanging. Today, witchcraft in Gikuyuland is usually by con men cheating people out of money.
