Issues

This article has major issues with original research, referencing, and neutrality. Most of the "Background" section deals with the conflation of witchcraft in African Traditional Religion with the (Western) pagan movement, and the Mpumalanga bill really has not much to do with Western paganism. There are no inline cites, and some pretty non-neutral claims. "The draft Bill [...] will imprison self-defined Witches on the assumption of automatic inference of criminality," is exaggeration at best. About half of the external links are dead. Also, no mention is made of the fate of the bill; as far as I can tell it wasn't even introduced in the legislature. - htonl (talk) 11:47, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I have added sections and references to this article and will continue to improve on it piecemeal in due course. Feedback appreciated. HelenOnline (talk) 12:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

As I just mentioned on your user talk page, I think you have pretty much covered all the issues I identified. Thanks! - htonl (talk) 10:32, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
