Witches Galore

WITCHES GALORE is an amazing collection of 4 mind-blowing short stories. It’s a wicked fiction, about the dark side of life known as witchcraft, which victimises us black folk in the townships and the villages of South Africa on a daily basis. I call it wicked because witchcraft is the most harrowing evil side of life in the black townships and the villages of South Africa. The stories are set in the former homeland of Transkei, in the province of the Eastern Cape, and in the township called Mdantsane, in the Border region of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The names of the stories are: 1) REJECT 2) THE COLLEGE 3) EXPOSED: Part One 4) THE WINDOW: Part One Below are the short introductions. The first story, REJECT, takes you into the supernatural dark world of the wicked witches where the victims are turned into dummies (things that look and act like real humans), in what appears to be a small town, as witnessed by the latest casualty of witchcraft by the name of Wendy, who is the main character, who has no clue whatsoever, how she got there. Will she get out, and how? ‹› The 2nd story, THE COLLEGE, takes place in a boarding school in Umtata where a little witch by the name of Sylvia, posing as a student, has bewitched all of her dorm mates, all the 13 girls, in association with her grandfather, disguised as the boarding master. ‹› EXPOSED 1, the 3rd story, really gets down to the powerful and deadly art of exposing the foul deeds of witchcraft. 2 boys Bongani and Manyano decide to go for a traditional circumcision to become men, only to discover some members of their own families hard at work bewitching them. In my language we call the rite of passage from boyhood to manhood "UKWALUKA." It's that rite of passage that will disrupt the whole process of the witches' plans. ‹› THE WINDOW 1 Look through this window and discover the hair-raising acts of diabolism created by the damned witches in the darkest hours of the night. The window in question in the 4th story is in Philmon's room, the main character. His window has suddenly become super cool, started showing him all kinds of nasty acts of witchcraft happening in the middle of the night, in the opposite house just across the street, directly facing Philmon's room windows. Guess what? Philmon's best friend, Jack, lives in that house.
