The English are as superstitious as the Iteso!

EDITOR—I would like to make two comments on Dr Ian Clarke’s article entitled “Cultural identity at all costs†published in The Sunday Vision of November 30.

First, superstition is not an African preserve. I studied theology at the University of Bristol in England in the 1960s. I found that the English are as superstitious as the Iteso in Uganda!
Secondly, Clarke seems to say that child sacrifice is part of African culture! Nothing could be far from the truth. Africa is Such a huge continent that I cannot talk about African culture. however, the Iteso don’t practise child sacrifice it is wicked and anti-social. Let me ask Ian clarke a simple question. Has he ever studied African traditional religion?
