A Ugandan herbalist was almost killed by a group of students after a girl claimed she made her 'private parts' disappear. The students had been buying herbs to help make themselves more attractive to men.
One had to take a bath first and then wipe the private parts clean and apply the herb inside for about 15 minutes. So the girl who was the first to buy the herb, immediately followed the procedures even when the woman was still with in the hostel. But before the 15 minutes were over, the girl ran out of her room screaming that her private parts had vanished. Students grabbed the woman's clothes, tore them to pieces and beat her thoroughly. The people who passed by stopped to see what was happening. However the woman was rescued after the people threatened to call the Police.
Another traditional healer was brought in to restore the damage. Bakuli Witch Almost Lynched Dead - New Vision (via allAfrica.com), June 22nd 2002.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
Allowed HTML:
a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will (hopefully!) work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
