Football fans in the central African state of Congo were hurling accusations of witchcraft at each other recently after a freak blast of lightning struck dead an entire team on the playing field while their opponents were left completely untouched.
.
The bizarre blow by the weather to all 11 members of the football team was reported in the daily newspaper L'Avenir in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo.
.
Lightning killed at a stroke 11 young people aged between 20 and 35 years during a football match," the newspaper reported .
.
It went on to say that 30 other people had received burns at the weekend match, held in the eastern province of Kasai.
.
The athletes from Basanga [the home team] curiously came out of this catastrophe unscathed.
.
The suspicion that the black arts might be involved arose firstly because the opposing team emerged unharmed and then again because the score at the time was a delicately balanced one all.
.
The exact nature of the lightning has divided the population in this region which is known for its use of fetishes in football, the newspaper commented.
.
Much of the detail about the match remains obscure as the Congo - officially known as the Democratic Republic of Congo - remains stricken by civil war between the government of Laurent Kabila and rebel forces, backed by neighbouring Rwanda, in the east of the country.

Witchcraft is often blamed for adverse natural phenomena throughout western and central Africa.

It is relatively frequent for football teams to hire witchdoctors to place hexes on their opponents.

For the record where people believe in black magic it has more power than in places where they do not..
In this particular story we do not have many details so need to be circumspect in what we believe.
.
And yes it is absolutely possible to bring such a result if one has the knowledge.
.
The result will not be without cost to those who commissioned it however..
Black magic is not a fashionable area in the west, consequently a lot of uninformed rubbish is written on this subject.
.
As a simple statement nature supports the powers of destruction as much as she supports those of creation.
.
And yes there are those who practice black magic in most African countries and many Asian and Latin American one's as well.
.
Quite frequently those who come to us for help have been the object of directed attacks.
