A thorough cleansing

in #africa7 years ago

The Chewa people are one of the largest indigenous groups of Malawi but live throughout Central and Southern Africa. When a person dies, one family tradition involves taking the body into the woods, slitting the throat, and forcing water through the body to cleanse it. They do this by squeezing the corpse’s stomach until what comes out the rear end runs clear.e0bad1b7cc05ed63b21e6c1ba0b71621.jpg6285971204_48c60ce9fe_z.jpg
