South African Pupils Burn "Witches" to Death

Two South African women have been burned to death after a group of students accused them of bewitching their high school with evil spirits. The two were both 60 years of age and were seized from their homes near Manguzi in KwaZulu-Natal province. Students and adults dragged them to a sports field where they were doused with gasoline and set on fire. The school pupils accused the women of being witches after they began to suffer strange crying fits.
