A South African schoolmaster stoned for refusing to pay a witch-doctor.
Tshimangadzo Samuel Daswa, born in 1946 in Venda in the northern Transvaal, belonged to the Lemba. Baptised at sixteen as Benedict, he became a teacher and then a headmaster, coached the village football team and raised eight children. In January 1990 a run of storms tore off roofs; the community resolved to pay a diviner to name whoever had caused the lightning, and punish them. Daswa refused to contribute and said so publicly: lightning is a natural thing, and accusing someone of sending it ends in a lynching. On 2 February he was ambushed on the road, stoned and finished off with clubs. Pope Francis recognised his martyrdom and he was beatified in 2015, the first person of southern Africa to be so.
