I got an email containing this link from one of my most patriotic Fresh Angle readers...think I need to invent an acronym for all my avid readers that make my effort worth it!
Well, it was so hilarious, it had me laughing my head off. I couldn't trace the story to an official source, so it's difficult to verify. But, here is a raw version fromThe UK's Sun newspaper.
Have a fun-filled weekend!
HIGH-FLYING witches face arrest and a heavy fine if they break new laws,
authorities in Swaziland have said.
Airspace rules in the southern African country have been tightened - and
witches who fly above 150 metres face a R500,000 (£35,487) penalty.
Sabelo Dlamini, an official at the Swazi civil aviation authority said: “A
witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150 metre] limit."
No charges are planned for airborne witches who keep below the 150-metre
'ceiling'.
Witches’ broomsticks are deemed similar to any heavier-than-air mode of
transport that takes flight.
Swazi brooms are short bundles of sticks tied together but without handles.
The new flying laws in the landlocked country follow the arrest of a private
investigator who was caught using a toy drone.
He told authorities he was gathering surveillance information after police
spotted him flying a mini helicopter with a video camera strapped to it.
Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the
power of black magic
