"You've got to hold a ceremony to appease the ancestors so the bees will go away peacefully." - Professor Peter Mtuze of Rhodes University in Grahamstown on traditional Xhosa ceremonies involving the removal of bees, after an elderly man was stung to death during what was thought to be such a ceremony. |

#1 I had to pull up the full story to be sure this wasn't one of our American university nutters. Unfortunately, I don't think he'd stand out. As for the sad case of the elderly victim, they must've screwed up the ceremony somehow... perhaps Mtuze's implying they should've paid him to direct it correctly. |
