EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment of a solemn union between a revered Witch Doctor of the Mashlangan tribe and his bride, in the Lydenburg district of the Transvaal Republic during the late 19th century. The Witch Doctor, an esteemed figure among his people, had claimed to have used his supernatural powers to rid the vast grasslands of South Africa from the devastating plague of locusts that had ravaged thousands of square miles in 1897. The plague had left thousands of acres of land barren, threatening the livelihoods and food sources of the local communities. The Witch Doctor's success in combating the locusts had earned him great respect and admiration from the people of the Transvaal Republic. His reputation reached far and wide, attracting the interest of both local and international media. This image, taken in 1921, is a testament to the deep-rooted belief in the power of traditional healers and their role in the community. The couple's traditional attire, adorned with intricate beadwork and animal skins, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Mashlangan tribe. The image, with its historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection of African history and ethnography." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online. Not for commercial use.
