Nearly ten year ago, millions of people from all over East Africa trooped to the remote village of Samunge in Tanzania in search of what was described as a miracle cure for practically all diseases. Loliondo township became a house hold name in Kenya and the whole region thanks to the so-called magical cure administered by a retired church minister Ambilikiwe Mwasapile also known simply as Babu.
By the end of 2012, more than 6 million people had visited Samunge village, where Babu still lives today. Was it a genuine cure or one of the biggest health scandals in recent times? Tonight, Citizen TV’s Pamela Asigi revisits the bizarre story that took East Africa by storm. She spoke to some of the people who made the visit and lived to tell the horror tales, and those who only have graves to show for the arduous journey that ended in grief.
