I smell witchcraft. You can’t trust #Nyasa people
u mean u have never seen lightning in ur country
Lightning never killed anyone in my country, such things happens only in Nigeria, Zambia and Ghana now Malawi has joined the race. Afrikan technology
Which country are you from, Machiavelli Wale Sundowns? As far as I know lightning kills people all over the world. That is why, as a child, my parents taught me to stay away from open spaces when there is lightning, never to take cover under the tallest tree, and to stay away from granite rocks. Lightning usually strikes the tallest object in the area. That is why quite a number of golfers have been hit by lightning worldwide. It is quite interesting, you might want to read up about it a bit. I think people attribute way too much to witchcraft.
Im from south Africa n i can’t remenber anyone killed by lightning in mzanzi never. We only read abt it in the news dat in naija, zambia, ghana or malawi smeone has been killed by lightning. Dat is totaly a witchcraft
It kills people everywhere with hotspots in brazil,usa and some parts where many are killed…its a matter of fate why africans behave like that?no wonder some believe in blood sucking rumours….foolish RIP
