Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Two child-sacrifice survivors whose genitals were mutilated by witch doctors have been flown to Australia for genital and body reconstruction surgeries.<\/b><\/p>\n

The victims; George Mukisa, 18, from Namayingo District and seven-year-old Jessy Katandi from Makindye Division in Kampala, are to undergo surgery to help them live a relatively normal life, Pastor Peter Sewakiryanga, the Kyampisi Childcare Ministries (KCM) executive director, has revealed.<\/p>\n

Mukisa\u2019s genitals were cut off by a witch doctor in 2009 when he was four years while Katinda\u2019s right hand was cut off in 2020 by a witch doctor\u2019s accomplice who later dumped him in a container near their home.<\/p>\n

He was rescued by a resident who heard him yelling and was rushed to Nsambya Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Mukisa\u2019s assailants were convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 25 years in jail while the accused duo in Katandi\u2019s case is battling charges of aggravated trafficking at High Court in Kampala.<\/p>\n

Mr Sewakiryanga said after the survival of the minors then, KCM took over their care and rehabilitation processes to overcome physical and psychosocial trauma.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thankful to our partners, Droplets in a Stream who are in Australia and Dr David Winkle a renowned urologist for enabling this surgery on the victims to be carried out. Besides the pain the victim endure every day, painful experiences still go on in the minds of their families. Child sacrifice is deeply rooted in power and greed. Some people think that they can get wealth or bless their buildings by sacrificing children well as wealth earned through hard work,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Mr Godfrey Ochwo, Katinda\u2019s father says he is hopeful that the surgery will enable his son live a normal life.<\/p>\n
