Unreported World reveals how hundreds of people, including children, have been killed for body parts destined for the booming practice of traditional medicine.
South Africa is the continent's most developed state, but traditional medicine is still part of everyday life. Most of the people interviewed by the team say they visit Sangomas to treat illness or attract good fortune. One Sangoma, who says he does not use human body parts, tells Navai he treats more than 100 patients a week, half of whom have HIV or AIDS.
Traditional healers who use human body parts promise health and good fortune - but the truth is this perversion of traditional medicine brings many desperate South Africans only fear and misery.
