To be clear 'muti' - assorted human body parts, not just the arod, are used in ritual black magic.
Baby muti ie the body parts of infants is considered especially potent for fertility and valued accordingly.
No much mention made of the perpetual murder and kidnaping of children required to provide the muti for 'doctors' to secure the return of boyfriends etc.
This kidnap and murder element is well hidden in media coverage. Muti harvesting is portrayed as a quaint folkloric superstition an artifact of traditional tribal culture instead of the continuous terror and popular complicity in the murder of the innocent.
like this:
>Muti, from the Zulu word for “tree,” is an important traditional practice in southern Africa, with many South Africans seeking out traditional cures for common ailments ranging from rashes to erectile dysfunction, as well as for magical purposes such as bringing good fortune in love and business.
Wikipedia, another cult control system describes it as 'traditional medicine' and claims it's plants that are used therapeutically
The fact is muti, and kidnapping and murder of children for body parts it necessitates is endemic and a plague to general population throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
>Muti is a traditional medicine practice in Southern Africa as far north as Lake Tanganyika.

While populist media coverage tells another story of hospitals in South Africa selling body parts to witch doctors as here:
>Muti murders differ from ritual or sacrificial killings in that the goal is not necessarily to kill the victim (though that often happens due to shock and blood loss), but instead to obtain body parts.
Just as different ingredients in a recipe are used for different purposes, certain body parts are used for particular goals. For example, eyes may be stolen and used in a magic ritual to help restore a client's failing eyesight, whereas severed hands are used to assure business success, and genitals are believed to attract luck.
They get a high price for Albinos:

They believe in black magic in South Africa. People in Africa know what our NPCs are about to find out.
.In Africa, witch doctors are consulted not only for healing diseases, but also for placing curses on rivals (or removing curses placed by rivals). Magic (or at least the belief in magic) is used for personal, political and financial gain.
