Since 2014, Malawi has suffered a wave of assaults against people with albinism. In that time more than 40 people with the condition have been murdered. In many of the cases, these killings are motivated by the baseless belief that the body parts bring wealth and luck. Just this week, twelve people, including a priest, a hospital worker and a police officer, appeared in court for the murder of a man with albinism. So how can people with albinism ever feel safe? Africa Daily speaks to two people living with the condition in Malawi. Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@kasujja)
