Witchcraft and a Life in the New South Africa reconstructs the
biography of an ordinary South African, Jimmy Mohale. Born in 1964,
Jimmy came of age in rural South Africa during apartheid, then
studied at university and worked as a teacher during the
anti-apartheid struggle. In 2005, Jimmy died from an undiagnosed
sickness, probably related to AIDS. Jimmy gradually came to see the
unanticipated misfortune he experienced as a result of his father's
witchcraft and sought remedies from diviners rather than from
biomedical doctors. This study casts new light on scholarly
understandings of the connections between South African politics,
witchcraft and the AIDS pandemic.
