August 1961- Ju-ju what is the truth - Suddenly the man who has been buried alive emerges from his grave in a flurry of dust as the others look on. He had been under the earth for over four minutes, but seconds later was dancing. When he finished the act, we paid a thankful fee and left, having obtained a promise from him that, the next day, he would accompany us to another village to see more wonderful things. The men who perform juju there, he told us, are mostly young and unmarried so, unlike me, they can receive all the powers the juju bestows on them. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
