Man believes witchcraft led to his car crash

In a related article published in late June, Briefly News reported about a South African man who shared a story about a car accident he believed was caused by witchcraft.

Terry Myataza explained how he discovered a red ribbon with muthi hidden under the car's steering wheel. He suspected that a witch from his neighbourhood planted the muthi in his car to get him in the accident.
