MP Says 'Sorcery' Holding Her Back (Tanzania)

[icymist]

Kilindi MP Beatrice Shelukindo has expressed fear that some people in her constituency could be playing some witchcraft antics against her.

The outspoken MP, who has declared that she would defend her seat in October election, complained that she encounters bizarre incidents whenever she visits the area. The CCM MP believes the antics are part of dirty tricks employed her potential opponents to defeat her.

She said her car tends to breakdown without any mechanical problem or in case the car is able to move it ends up getting involved in accidents. She made the allegations while addressing voters in different villages in the district.

Speaking at Saunyi and Mswaki villages late last week, Mrs Shelukindo appealed to the 'witch doctors' to endorse her as she had done a lot to bring development in the area.
