Albinos have hence become a rare commodity in Tanzania as the people believe that witchcraft done with a body part of an albino brings good fortune and prosperity.
The latest in the recent series of attacks on albinos is that of a seven-year-old Tanzanian boy whose hand was chopped off by three ritualists as he walked home with his four school friends.
The attack came just days after....
an albino mother of four had her arm chopped off by machete-wielding men, with police on Saturday saying they had arrested five men after discovering the decomposing limb hidden in a field.
The boy, Mwigulu Magessa, is recovering in hospital, said Apolinary Macheta, the local government leader in Tanzania's southwestern Milepa district.
