3	Witchcraft in the religion of the Hlubi of Qumbu: focusing on the issues of sickness and healing in the society Osei, Mensah-Aborampah 30 November 2003 (has links) This research sought to investigate the impact of a belief in witchcraft as an explanation for all the ills in the Hlubi community and South African societies in general - which becomes a good tool for inadequate governments. Our approach in this study has been interdisciplinary and the utilization of comparative analysis and a combination of phenomenological and qualitative research models. Economic problems create social tensions and are manifested in various ways, including witchcraft craze. The Hlubi scenario found parallels in Europe and America. Witchcraft and ancestors are considered to be the main causes of diseases but nature and ecological or environmental dangers are other factors. Pragmatic and obvious response to such phobias is seen in the protective and preventive devices provided by isangoma, amaqhira, amaxhwere, inyanga and faith healers. It is hypothesized that as long as all existential needs exist in Hlubi society witchcraft will continue to be with us, perhaps forever. / Religious Studies & Arabic / DLITT ET PHIL (REL STUD) World Religions Agents of Indigenous Healthcare Misfortunes or Mundane Mishaps Poverty Supernatural Beliefs and Practices Hlubi Traditional Healers Religion Health Healing Familiars Illness Medicine Divination African Cosmology Ancestors Sorcery Wicca Witchcraft 299.61330968758 Witchcraft--South Africa--Qumbu Hlubi (African people--Religion
