This is such a mental and sick way to sell anything like a human body part.
I can't believe how could anyone do that especially if it's their relative.
News for information:
THE case in which Blessed Goreraza allegedly beheaded his nephew’s head so that he could sell it in South Africa, where it is believed there is a lucrative market has re-opened the ancient debate on human body parts trade.
Some believe that it is a myth, an urban legend that was made popular by parents and guardians who wanted to dissuade their children from venturing far from home.
Others, despite the police and government’s assurance that there are no such killings are convinced that the killings are a living reality.
At home statistics favour the government’s stance as police have not received reports of people who have been killed and had certain parts of their bodies removed for trade.
Bulawayo police spokesperson, Inspector Mandlenkosi Moyo, professed ignorance about such cases in Zimbabwe and said police have never come across such.
“Human trafficking and human body parts trade exists but in Zimbabwe we have no such incidents. It’s all rumours, no one has ever come forward with such a report and on that basis alone we cannot carry out an investigation. I cannot about South Africa because I am not a South African police spokesperson, but encourage people to stop causing unnecessary alarm,” said Inspector Moyo.
The denials have made a mockery of the hysteria that has gripped Bulawayo, but have still failed to sway the public’s posture that people’s, especially children’s heads and other body parts are at risk of being cut off, sold and bought mostly for fetish and magical reasons.
“The government and the police might be denying that human body parts are sold in South Africa and other markets but that is the reality on the ground. In Zimbabwe I have never heard of a traditional healer who recommends his client to do that but that does not mean Zimbabweans are not being killed for such purposes. I urge the police to treat such matters seriously because they have been happening since time immemorial, where do you think the bodies of children who have disappeared without a trace went to? They were victims of this trade whether you deny it or not,” said Mr Andrew Nyathi a local traditional healer who is a member of the Zimbabwe Traditional Healers Association (ZINATHA).
