South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma, whose party failed to beat the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) in its Western Cape stronghold, has blamed it all on witchcraft.

Zuma reportedly said;

‘In the last elections I was satisfied that we were taking the Western Cape‚ I even said so. What went wrong? I too can’t tell you. I don’t know‚ [maybe] it’s because of witchcraft, witches practice their craft in different ways” the news site quotes President Zuma as saying that ghosts might even been voting to keep the DA in power.​
