Christian and Muslim leaders in Tanzania are being urged to tell their followers to stop the killing of Albino people and harvesting their body parts for spells.
It is widely believed that body parts from Albino people (including, legs and genitals) if taken to the local witch doctor can bring prosperity and good fortune to the murderer.
Witch doctors are paid cash for the spell and the body parts are used as part of the ceremony.
Many, if not all involved in this practice also regularly attend Church or Mosque, but have also traditionally believed in witchcraft, this is very common in East Africa.
