Bald men in Mozambique could be targets of ritual attacks, police have warned, after the recent killing of five men for their body parts.

Two suspects have been arrested in the central district of Milange, where the killings occurred.

"The belief is that the head of a bald man contains gold," said Afonso Dias, a police commander in Mozambique's central Zambezia province.


Albino people have also been killed in the region for ritual purposes.

Three men have been killed in the past week alone.

Someone will come and be yapping/blabbing about patriotism.... Imagine how Africans reason in an age of extreme technological advancement. Damn!!!

An archaeologist once postulated that African Negroes descended from the lineage of the outcast, accursed, and rejected son of Nimrod... I thought it was all racist trash... But, I am seriously beginning to have a rethink. undecided

So much evil in Africa. Later some people will label white people as racists, when the truth is we are our own worst enemies and worst oppressors.

Yup. They even sold their own people into slavery. It's been like this since the time of slavery. Even before that.

What can he say when his country has the worst, deranged killers in the whole world? I don't remember reading a story about any African male caught dancing in the rain naked, wrapped in a meat dress with its own vagina & 2 boobs from different women. That & far worse has happened in America.

Families are said to be trading in their own loved ones in a bid for money and influence from some of the country’s most powerful people.

It is believed in the African country that albino body parts will bring a person wealth or luck, with people willing to pay as much as $3,000 to $4,000 for a limb, or as much as $75,000 for the whole body, the MailOnline reports.

As a result, people with albinism are often attacked by people who wish to chop off their limbs, leaving them mutilated, or in many cases, dead.

Albinism affects one in 1,400 people in Tanzania, which experts put down to incest in rural communities in the country.

It is a hereditary condition which causes the complete absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes.

Since records began, there have been 74 murders, with 59 people with albinism surviving attacks, while 16 graves have been robbed for body parts, however there are believed to be many more unrecorded.
The most recent case recorded was four-year-old Pendo Emmanuelle Nundi, who was abducted from her home in December. Her father and uncle were both arrested in connection with her disappearance, however even with a reward of £1,130 offered up by police, she still hasn’t been found.

Mwigulu Matonange was only 10 when he was attacked by two men on his way home from school. The men chopped off his left arm, before disappearing into the jungle.

After the brutal attack, which took place in February 2014, he told IPP Media: ‘I was held down like a goat about to be slaughtered.’

In this case, the men were complete strangers to Mwiglulu, however there’s suspicion surrounding Pendo’s father after he took half-an-hour to report her abduction, despite there being neighbours around who could’ve helped as soon as she was taken.

According to a UN report, a 38-year-old woman was attacked by her husband and four other men while she was sleeping in February 2013 while their eight-year-old daughter looked on.

As reported by the MailOnline, Josephat Torner, who campaigns for albino rights, asked:

Now we can see the parents who are involved in planning the attacks. What kind of war are we fighting if parents and family do this? Who can we trust?

You do not know who is your enemy.

People with the albinism are being hunted and killed for our body parts. It is because people want to become rich.

We are still living in danger. It is because people, they have different ideas. Some people, they are thinking they should get our body parts and sell to different places.

The question is, why? Why now? And who is behind the killings?

Africans have completely recessed brains.

I keep saying Africans are far worse than even their colonial masters.

Ever since the British left us to our independence, one would have thought, 'fine, let's make this country excel'. But what do we have today?

Our very own in power are re-colonising us under the guise of democracy.

Africans are a disgrace - anywhere you go, wherever they are, even in the Western World. Strife, envy, jealousy, no team work, too much gossip ... always Africans.

every country has its own flaws but Africa's own Nigeria in particular is just sheer stupidity if not instead of channeling our energy to building our nation or continent we prefer ritual killings and corruption instead of building world class schs and hospitals we prefer going abroad to sch and give birth...so u can see our problem is more than that of America's own and what trump is saying is that we should fix our goddam country since we have all d resources to do so.
