On the Mueda plateau in northern Mozambique, sorcerers are said to feed on their victims, sometimes "making" lions or transforming into lions to literally devour their flesh. When the ruling FRELIMO party subscribed to socialism, it condemned sorcery beliefs and countersorcery practices as false consciousness, but since undertaking neoliberal reform, the party--still in power after three electoral cycles--has "tolerated tradition," leaving villagers to interpret and engage with events in the idiom of sorcery.
