Some media publications claim that as many as 200 people with albinism have been killed in sub-Saharan Africa over the past decade. This is due to myths that the skin, bones and body parts of people with albinism are useful in bringing about fortune, curing HIV/AIDS and in healing certain illnesses. The myths are rightly highlighted as well as called out and the killings of people suffering from albinism are condemned worldwide by high level organisations such as the United Nations.This article contains a spoken word audio recording of a Durban-born and raised artist, Msizi Dlamini who, in isiZulu, speaks about the issue and highlights its wrongfulness. Durban and the province of KwaZulu-Natal are not left out of the discussion – therefore the audio recording speaks to all the dwellers of the province to take part in condemning the killings of people with albinism and in protecting them as well.albinism, albinos, ukubulala
