David’s son I can’t fathom how he can plan to kill his own dad just for the land? How evil of a son he could be?!
The devil is all behind this witch belief that causes murder and pain to humankind.
Aww this is too painful to watch 😭. The wife crying for her beloved husband. I can feel the deep pain. I can also see and feel the deep love within them for each other.
Excellent documentary but so so heartbreaking
I feel for David, I hope he stay safe
Why do we have the government which cannot provide security to its people
Evolution takes too much time ..but it works .. bad ideas will always die and new and better ones will take its place..
This has been happening for long time especially malindi and kilifi and all because they want to sell the land to muzugus imagine the people who lived by the beach they are all dead now is mzugu living there
That woman she’s number one suspect she knows a lot more
Chris a beach boy he want to sell his fathers land to mzugu, now I know I will never buy a piece of land in that area coz the land is already cursed 😢😢😢😢😢😢
The word witchcraft is an excuse for murder
This generation is cursed they will never see anything good in this life 😢😢😢😢
Highly disappointed in Kenya as an African
Sadly now these lands are sold as Mburoti Maguta Maguta😢💔
Katanas wife is responsible for what happened to him
I still couldn’t believe how Africans are so religious and yet very wicked and heartless 😢😢😢😢this is insane
Please administration do something to safeguard life of innocent old people
This made me cry
Na usipozaa watu wanakulaumu. Sad situation
The police are earning from those killings, some one giving them a lot of money
Thats why you need to be carefull not to buy any land in the interior coastline coz it has been grabbed from these guys who are now helpless. Ask yourselves how on earth one are of land can be sold at 200k ?
That wife isnt trusted she have hidde n agenda
😭😭😭😭cutting onions while watching fellow kenyans mostly coastal regions people where did humanity gone upon us
May God have 🥺 mercy. What kind of 🌎 are we living in.
WHEN DID YOU CONDUCT THIS INTERVIEW,IT IS SO SAD TO SEE SOME OME CRIES LIKE THAT IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. I LOST MY MUM AND GOD WILLING.PLEASE CAN YOU BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE NEAREST POLICE STATION.SOME THING HAS TO BE DONE
Daamn man! I am lost of words. I just weep for the elderly and pray for the Lord's intervention. This is unacceptable in a society where people are trying hard to make ends meet and people taking advantage of the aged who are holding their blessings.😢
Sad to watch how our own people are annihilating our old men and women whom we can learn great knowledge from. We can do better, fellow Africans.
She dont want him all she want is money,this is the crazy thang i ever seen,can't someone stop this,they need Jesus.
It is heart breaking to see these things happening to our elders, in our society. The extent of our cruelty is unimaginable. Imagine this happening to your dad/grand pa…..
Its a shame how our justice systems turn blind eye to these heinous crimes.
This is evil theses people needs Jesus
Very well researched and presented. Good work Njeri. Keep on keeping on….
I think its the high rates of unemployed
In the heart of the village, under the baobab's shade,
Where wisdom flows like the river, in stories relayed,
Gathered are the elders, with eyes that gleam bright,
Carrying the weight of ages, in their gaze so wise and right.
Oh, African elders, pillars of our ancient land,
With your voices rich with history, like the desert's shifting sand,
You hold the secrets of the earth, in your weathered hands,
And through your timeless tales, our roots firmly stand.
Your laughter echoes through the night, like drums in distant lands,
Your smiles a beacon of hope, amidst life's shifting sands,
For you've seen the sunrise paint the savannah gold,
And watched the moonlight dance, secrets yet untold.
You teach us patience, in the rhythm of the drum,
And the strength of unity, when the harvest time has come,
Your words are like the stars that guide us in the night,
Leading us to futures bright, with your guiding light.
In your presence, we find solace, in the midst of life's storms,
You've weathered every tempest, with grace that transforms,
From the depths of hardship, you've carved paths anew,
Teaching us resilience, in all that we pursue.
So here's to African elders, guardians of our heritage grand,
Whose wisdom transcends time, across the vast expanse of sand,
May your spirits forever dance, like the flames in the fire,
And your legacy endure, as our hearts and minds aspire.
David ( that son with dreadlocks ) is quite defensive and appears to be harboring a lot of emotions. It is clear from his body language that he is not in good terms with his father.
The people that attack these elders 💔🤞🏼 forget that they will also get old too … what goes around comes around
No wonder there's a lot of land sale in coastal region from land selling companies, this is where the lands come from
i feel like crying as an advocate my lord
This is the norm in most African villages; every old person is suspected of practising witchcraft.
This is really sad
Huyu Wife anajua kila kitu atakuwa anahusika na hilo tukio
Yaani nimelia kabisa!
It amazes me that so much ignorance exists on the continent. I've been to various countries throughout the continent and there seems to be a curse of decadence or lack of humanity on the people. There's no future without addressing the mindset.
Mbona Africa kuna mambo ya kijinga namna hii? na sio Kenya tu hata Tanzania hayo yamefanyika sana.
This is heartbreaking to watch. We must do better 💔
14:53 I wish I could hug her , I wish I could hug these precious survivors ❤️🩹🫂😢😭
Greed, Jealousy, Laziness, Entitlement, Ignorance and the unwillingness to know and do better brings on so much unnecessary abuse and trauma 😡💔💔💔💔 so many innocent people harmed senselessly.
Thank you so much for such a heartbreaking but informative and incredible documentary. It's spreading much needed awareness.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️AFRICA, WORLD LET'S DO BETTER ❤🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Makes me feel Africa is cursed for its cruelty done by THEM to THEMSELVES, and it's hurtful to see😔…
God be protected and with you all😢🙏 in the name of jesus Christ saviour.
Very sad indeed…… sufficiency of God's grace… witchcraft and sorcery!….
When the young lad started crying after being called to see his father after a very long time, I pictured my own son seeing me in pain in that scenario.. I couldn't help it but shed tears. This is just sad😢😭😭
