Wear human skin for riches
• Absurd Inurbane Witless
Tanzanian sorcerers use human skin to make their wearers' wealthy. Luckily Americans prefer to buy get rich quick books. The only people who made money were the witch doctors and those willing to kidnap and skin an innocent victim.
Human skins are used by witch doctors to make charms or potions designed to make their users rich, especially in southern Tanzania, renowned as a center for traditional sorcery.
Police say the once rampant practice has decreased significantly in recent years due to tougher action by the authorities, describing this as the first suspected skinning case in southern Tanzania since April 2004.
