Witch Doctors Fight The Mau Mau
This unique series. of pictures shows the Kenya Government's use of native witch ductors to administer "cleansing ouths" to Africans who have been forced to take the Mau Mau oath. The witch doctors', oath, taken on the Thenge Stone (the Stone of Death) is so powerful that it sweeps away the Mau Mau oath. Here a witch doctor puts on his make-up (chalk and castor tree oil) before the ceremony.
Third step is placing the Thenge Stone carefully into the support made of twigs of the Migere Bush. The witch doctor has put on his make-up-which is applied only to half the face and one leg.
