Dog House Blog, Flying High!

Hopping over to the landlocked country of Swaziland today we bring you breaking news that the nation has launched a crackdown on high flying witches after banning them from hovering above 150 metres. Yes it has been a long time since witches were burnt at the stake in Europe but they take these matters seriously over there. Anyone caught flying their broomstick above the height limit faces arrest and a hefty R500,000 fine, the countrys’ Civil Aviation Authorities said last week. A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the 150 metre limit, corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini told our reporter from Molly Media. The new aviation law was highlighted after a private investigator was caught flying a helicopter equipped with a video camera to gather surveillance information. Witchcraft is taken seriously in Swaziland where many people believe in the power of black magic. Yes a nice box of Black Magic (chocolates) is taken very seriously over here too. The statute also forbids toy helicopters and children’s kites from ascending too high into the countrys’ airspace. Swazi brooms are short bundles of sticks tied together and do not have handles. Swazi witches are known to use them to fling potions about homesteads and obviously some use them for transportation. Last year a leading Swazi MP called for a hike in tax paid by witch doctors to help ease the cash strapped countrys’ financial woes. So remember when in Swaziland fly low!
