  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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 😒😒😒😒😒😒

  4. 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 ?

  5. 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

  6. 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.😒

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 14:53 I wish I could hug her , I wish I could hug these precious survivors β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ«‚πŸ˜’πŸ˜­
    Greed, Jealousy, Laziness, Entitlement, Ignorance and the unwillingness to know and do better brings on so much unnecessary abuse and trauma πŸ˜‘πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’” 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.

  12. 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😒😭😭
