Ghana, 1961. Juju: What is the Truth – In a frightening blur of sharp steel the knife plunges towards the juju man's stomach. But it left no scar. An anxious woman looks on. I have told you the man was fat and strong looking. His antics heightened his frightening appearance and, man, we were afraid! I could see no logical reason for his anger. If he didn't want us to see his juju, okay – he had but to tell us and we could quit in double quick time. I suggested this to our guide, but he whispered to me to be quiet.
