Around 50 individuals tragically lost their lives in Angola after being compelled to ingest an herbal elixir to demonstrate their innocence of sorcery, as disclosed by authorities and local officials on Thursday.

These fatalities occurred between January and February in the vicinity of the central town of Camacupa, as stated by Luzia Filemone, a councilor in the area.

Law enforcement verified the deaths of the 50 individuals.

In remarks to Angola National Radio, Filemone implicated traditional healers in administering the lethal potion.

“More than 50 victims were forced to drink this mysterious liquid which, according to traditional healers, proves whether or not a person practices witchcraft,” she said.

Despite staunch opposition from the predominantly Catholic Church in this former Portuguese colony, belief in witchcraft remains prevalent in certain rural Angolan communities, CBS News reported.
