Beaten Ndola Elderly Man Denies Practicing Witchcraft

An elderly man of Kababemba Village in Senior Chief Chiwala’s area who claims to have been beaten after being accused of witchcraft says he is innocent.
Eighty-One-year-old Valentine Filaluka says he was early last month accused of having a hand in the death of a neighbour’s child which made members of the community beat him up.
His concern is that even after re-locating to Kabushi Township in Ndola for his safety and the Kabushi local court resolving the case, he has again been called by elders in his village to exculpate himself.
However, in a telephone interview Senior Chief Chiwala says he is not aware of this particular case but has stated that he does not condone witchcraft.
