Every culture has their own beliefs, some a little stranger and more far fetched than others. Like Swaziland, who believe in witches, and have some serious laws governing the height a witch may not exceed while traveling on a broom stick.

There is an actual statute in Swaziland for the flight limit of which a witch can reach. This is what the Civil Aviation Authority marketing and corporate affairs director Sabelo Dlamini had to say:

A witch on a broomstick should not fly above the [150-metre] limit.

The most amusing part is that fines exist for these flight height requiremnts. If a witch is caught flying below the 150 meter mark they will not be fined, but anything higher is subject to a R500 000 fine. That is pretty intense for a witch flying above the flight limit.

The report also suggests Swazi witches do not use Swazi broomsticks. Instead the short bundles of sticks tied together are used to move potions around at home.
