UK:
In Tanzania, albinos are commonly known as “Zeru” in Swahili, which means ghost-like creatures and is used as a derogatory term. Around lake Victoria, evil acts are driven by the belief that albino body parts possess magical powers. It is believed these body parts will bring wealth if used in potions produced by local witchdoctors.

FR:
En Tanzanie, les albinos sont appelés vulgairement « Zeru », ce qui signifie en langue swahili créatures fantomatiques. Une croyance attribue des pouvoirs magiques à certaines parties de leur corps, qui sont censées apporter la richesse quand elles sont transformées en potions par des sorciers locaux.
