Headline: b1959_40 Title: Drum Magazine social history photographs, South Africa edition 221 Description: Folk live in dread in the land of witchcraft – And what do the bones reveal? Blouberg Bapole consulted the bones when a neighbour’s child vanished. The bones “pointed” at someone, but the suspect shown by the bones was later acquitted.
