In Soweto, South Africa, Madumo's family has accused him of using witchcraft to kill his mother, and has thrown him out on the street.Convinced that his life is cursed, Madumo seeks help among Soweto's healers and prophets. An inyanga, or traditional healer, confirms that Madumo is, indeed, bewitched. With the author at his side, Madumo embarks upon a physically gruelling treatment regimen that he follows religiously--almost to the point of death--despite his suspicion that it may be better to "Westernize my mind and not think about witchcraft".
