SWITZERLAND bans witches from flying above 150metres on broomsticks!

BELIEVE IT! or not; Swaziland bans WITCHES from flying above 150metres on broomsticks! In Swaziland, the days when witches could enjoy the untethered freedom of flying high in the sky are, regrettably, over. According to the marketing and corporate affairs director of the Civil Aviation Authority, Sabelo Dlamini, “A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-meter] limit.” Anyone caught flying their broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000 fine, the country’s civil aviation authorities said this week. ‘A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit,’ corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini told The Star. According to American Livewire, traditional brooms in Swaziland are comprised of bundles of sticks or twigs tied together with no handle. And, while witches are known to use their brooms for applying or flinging “potions” and other cursed substances across large areas, they are not generally used for transportation purposes. And therein lies Dlamini's crucial, metaphorical oversight. However, even though witchcraft is something that is taken very seriously in Swaziland —a country where people firmly believe in it and routinely accuse others of using black magic on each other — it can be assumed that Dlamini used the flying broomstick example only to illustrate his point. Also taxes of witch doctors have been recently increased to boost revenue.
