Talk by J. D. Krige
Professor of Social Anthropology
University of Natal, Durban
' To reduce human suffering to the freaks of fortune, or attribute it to statistical averages, seems to the African a poor substitute for a moral philosophy in which black magic figures as a final cause.' Professor Krige believes that the reason for the persistence of magicomedical beliefs among Bantu is to be found in these terms.
