The Isanuse (Umgoma of the Zulus) is a witch doctor, who professes to have direct intercourse with the spirit world, and practices divination, or in his language, “Ukunuka” or “smelling out.” Their assistance and influence is employed in “smelling out” sorcerers or bewitchers, “Amagqira” or “Abatakati,” and although they are forbidden to practice in the Cape Colony or Natal under heavy penalties if discovered, they practice secretly and do much harm; mysterious burnings of Kraals, etc., taking place after the departure of one of these gentry. Until recently they practiced unrestrained in Zululand and Pondoland, and exercised a truly awful power for evil; hundreds and even thousands having been “smelled out” and put to death within recent times. Probably no more villainous and unmitigated fraud than the Kaffir “Isanuse” exists on the face of the earth. Pretending to possess the faculty of divination, he trains his memory and powers of observation to an extraordinary degree. Every little circumstance coming within his cognisance is hoarded up for future use. Nothing is too trivial, and by the assistance of spies he is kept informed of everything that goes on in his clan or tribe. Rich and influential men are, of course, the special objects of his keenest regard. Nothing is unimportant, and such things as the pattern of a snuffbox, a dent in an assegai handle or blade, the number and etc., of shells worn in a necklet or charm, are noted for possible use against the owner, should it be advisable to convict him of Sorcery. Scully thus describes an hypothetical case.
