Mugabe's speech blasting "witchcraft mentality" seems to be aimed at a certain Zanu-PF faction

President Robert Mugabe’s speech criticising witchcraft and the belief that when a leader falls sick they have been bewitched seems to be aiming for a certain Zanu-PF faction.

Said Mugabe:

We were worried and are still worried by lack of ideological knowledge. You hear people, someone has fallen sick and they say aroiwa. That’s lack of ideological knowledge. A leader akarwara anonzi aroiwa, ah, when did this start! Technology is advanced and we encourage people to go for constant check ups. Certain diseases attack. The bodies are not ours. (When someone falls sick, you hear some people saying they have been bewitched. That’s lack of ideological knowledge. Technology is advanced and we encourage people to go for constant check ups.
