The outbreak of COVID-19 which has seen many countries declare lock down to fight the virus, might just have given many countries an opportunity to execute new ideas and South Africa has proven to be one of those countries.
South Africa which is the African country with the most Coronavirus cases has during this lock down opened a witchcraft school for witches and wizards.
On Monday April 12, 2020, the Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande , launched South Africa’s first school of witchcraft and wizardry. The school which is located in the South African city of Durban KwaZulu Natal, opened its doors wide open for interested persons.
This school is the first of its kind in South Africa and its purpose is to fortify and empower people who want to practice witchcraft and wizardry. According to the minister, witches and wizards now need licenses to operate, as they are tired of witnessing unlicensed operations in the country.
You need a license to practice witchcraft in South Africa. We are sick and tired of witches operating without licenses. Just like doctors and engineers, if pastors go to bible college to learn about ministry; witches and wizards should also go to school to learn how to use their gifts so they can operate accordingly and also to preserve the African culture.” said Minister Nzimande.
Like any other school, applicants are required to have passed in mathematics and physical science in grade 12. Application forms are now available on the school’s website as soon as it went live that morning.The government has promised to open many more schools all over the country by January next year.
