The Herbalist Council of Malawi says banning traditional doctors in the country cannot end attacks on people with albinism.
The development follows suggestions that traditional doctors should be banned as one way of ending the barbaric acts in Malawi that have left people with albinism living in fear.
The attacks follow a false myth that albino parts can bring luck monetary wise, with the herbalists taking part in preparing charms.
Reacting to the development, Herbalists Council of Malawi General Secretary Robins Zanizo said they are not behind the killings arguing that those perpetrating the malpractice are not traditional doctors.
“Most Malawians believe in traditional medicine because there are some disease that cannot be cured with medication from hospitals. I think banning traditional doctors will not solve the problem,” said Zanizo.
Zanizo added that the council is to work hand in hand with government to ensure perpetrators are brought into book.
The song of killing people living with albinism has been echoing in Malawians’ ears for more than two years despite authorities speaking tough against the malpractice.

The Gov of Malawi is responsible 4 killings of albino people and witchcraft in Malawi becoz it declared zat there is no witchcrat so now why it is banning African witchdoctors? It is contradicting itself .Witchcraft is in alarming rate since the adoption of zat bill let the albino people be killed like chickens because it is behind witchcraft practices

They must all be banned.

The sing’angas are skilled poeple skilled in natural medicinal products who deliver them at a cheaper price but we undermine them. When the Chinise bring their plant derived drugs nor when the Europeana and Americans come to still or plants and renovate them. Then back at a very high price we applaud for them. Talk of LA, Aspirin, Quinine, Vincristine, Vinblastine, Digitoxin and in all 2/3 of the medicines we use are from natural sources. Unless we recognise the sing’angas we wil remain poor while others are enriching themselves at our expense, all bcoz of the stupid, so-called laws.

These herbalists are not healers as they described, they rob by tricks these poor lazy mother f**cks. I am fully supporting the move & it should be done now before they cause more harm to the people.
