"The Witch Doctor and Other Rhodesian Studies" by Frank Worthington is a collection of stories and essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores various aspects of life in Northern Rhodesia, with a focus on interactions between colonial officials and local indigenous peoples, often touching on themes of superstition, authority, and cultural conflicts. The opening of the book introduces readers to a Native Commissioner's Court in Northern Rhodesia, where a distressed native man pleads his case involving the alleged witchcraft killing of his son. The story unfolds with a tense atmosphere, highlighting the struggles between traditional beliefs and colonial governance. The Commissioner values his authority while managing complex societal dynamics, and when the case of witchcraft leads to the arrest of the accused witch doctor, readers witness the interplay of suspicion and power. The narrative sets the stage for deeper exploration into the intricate relationships between the colonizers and the local population, presenting a rich tapestry of life in Rhodesia during this period.
