When you hear the words 'witch hunt,' what do you imagine? Broomsticks and fairytales? The reality is far more brutal.
In modern South Africa, a hidden war is being waged where ancient superstition and fervent belief collide with deadly consequences. "Witch Hunt" is a groundbreaking true crime documentary series that exposes the real-life horror of today's witch hunts—a world not of magic, but of murder.
This is not fiction. This is the harrowing reality for communities where:
Elderly women are burned alive, accused of casting curses.
Children with albinism are hunted for their body parts.
Charismatic churches promise salvation but deliver death.
From the rolling hills of Limpopo to the urban shadows of Soweto, we investigate how fear is weaponized, how belief is twisted into a justification for violence, and how communities are torn apart by accusations.
Told through the raw testimony of survivors, chilling reconstructions of actual events, and unprecedented access to the people at the heart of these conflicts, "Witch Hunt" is the series that dares to ask the questions no one else will.
What do we still believe in? And what will it cost us?
